What kinda bumpers you looking for? Tube bumpers? Plate bumpers? I've been trying to figure out some for my 71 so I'd love to see some pics too. I'm thinking I'm going with tube bumpers

Currently an unfinished bumper i'm putting on a friends truck, 3/16in channel iron with 1in thick plate bolted to frame and welded on both sides of the bumper as the new pull point for the truck

Nothing fancy here, but this is on my 1970 K10.
Hitch, and hooks under and on the frame.

Re: anyone build their own 4x4 bumpers? pics?
Built my front & rear similar to each other. Frame rails are tied together with sqaure tubing for more strength when jerking out other stuck folks. Winch is actually in a box slid into reciever on front so can be taken out & put in rear if needed there.

Re: anyone build their own 4x4 bumpers? pics?
Didn't build this one myself - Keven at WFO Concepts built it for me using his Solid Works program. Made out of 3/8" plate & is about as strong as I'd like it to be!!!
He made a recessed panel behind the license plate to hide my air chuck & jumper cable quick connects as well. Also included a shot of the front push bar he built for my truck as well with the Vision X LED light bar attached to it. The overall look & build of the two pieces match up very nicely!!!

Re: anyone build their own 4x4 bumpers? pics?
My4by2 those are some nice looking welds. I love that bumper. Steve, your bumper makes the whole truck look tuff. I like the shackles in the front and how the bumper wraps around the front of the fenders.
