Im in the market for a new rear bumper Havent decided if i will buy one Chrome, Or build a Pipe Style Bumper Here are the two ideas i have had so far.

Or This one

Briefly Thought about this one 12" Drop

Ive always prefered the Chrome Cowboy Drop Bumpers But I Can Build A Knock Off Ranch Hand Cheap .

Anyone have a 73-87 with pics of a ranch hand on it? Im thinking of something with a 10" drop

I had to vote for the Ranch Hand style bumper. I hate those big flat chrome bumpers, but not because of looks. Have you ever been behind someone that has one? You can't help being blinded by the reflection.

he thought he would flash his brights at me and try to mess with me.

it backfired and he got blinded

Yeah Thats kinda why i like mine hehe. Someone gets too close with bright lights There about as good off as Stevie wonder behind the wheel.

I have been thinking about it I was going to get a new rear bumper like what i had and get a new front bumper and a chrome pushbar ..

But nom Im thinking of building a rear bumper like that ranch hand but have a 1" crossover pipe with two 90s on them going across the tubes where there seperated by the towplate And put air in them .

But i am undecided as to wether or not i will put a ranch hand style bumper on the front . I dont see any i like i would Possibly build one like This But have a FlatBar And 2 3/8 Or 2 7/8 Or 3" Pipe Pushbar
