Have I seen you on Cherokee forums? The bumpers look familiar.... Look pretty good too.

I really like the Ford rear bumper with the lights. Great job.

I know when I get ready to build my 1 ton crew cab 72', I am going to want to make one that looks close to Fab Fours Classic Winch bumper with Pre Runner bars like they do for newer trucks, but no one makes that same look for older trucks. For the rear I'd make one similar to the looks of your rear Cherokee bumper. I think they would look really good on a big 1 ton. Trevor

my Buddy Ty who owns the truck posted something on one of JP's forums and I posted on Pearsons and 4 wheeler's forums so you might have seen it there

I'v built 3 of those so far, one for that truck, one for a 85 chevy (no pics because I didn't have a camera thanks to a mudding incident) and one for a 01 Ford which has the backups, oval strobes and oval stop/turn/tail lights
(here's a pic of the one for the 01 Pre Paint, the bumper was ordered raw to be painted to match the truck)

i think i have seen one place that makes bumpers for us 67-72 chevy trucks and they are pretty pricey and there isnt much of a choice with them

Do you think that 1/8 steel is too thin for a off road bumper?

its a 67c10 I gonna add some 1/4 plate to the top and then add some tubing and a winch(later). and to attach it im gonna add some either c channel or some big enough square tubing connect it so the bumper and then to the frame with some grade 8 bolts

Pretty much what im planning to do just with the tubing attached to the top of the bumper.

1/8 it almost tin, I wouldn't use any thinner than 7ga and only then if it's AR (abraision resistant)
