Re: Jesses' 48 PU
2x2 pieces welded to the frame. Now the bumper bracket can easily slide in and out by removing the bolts and sliding it out.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
I wasn't sure how far I would set the bumper so I left this section a bit long so I could trim once I decided where the bumper would live.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
I took a piece of 2" flat bar 1/4" thick rolled it to match the shape of the bumper, drilled holes so I could attach it to the back of the bumper and use it to weld the 1 1/2" frame. This way the bumper can be removed or replaced.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
Decided to set the bumper at 2 1/4" (ends) off the fenders, trimmed and finished welding the bumper bracket.

Great idea on the bumper mount! I think I may copy that!

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
Thanks, I guess you can use 1" square tubing to cut back on weight. Let me know how it turns out.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
Took the front clip off, finished welding the inner fenders, cleaned them up some and getting them ready for primer.
My wife took a ninja shot of me....

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
Due to the Coronavirus my employer grounded us and cancelled all of our travel. So I decided to take the week off and work on the truck. I sandblasted the inner fenders and several pieces from the front clip.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
If you have a compressor why not get a gravity help gun and spray bodyshop grade epoxy and high build etc. It would be cheaper and a better coverage than the spray bomb stuff. Especially when you start the high build. Easier to get a nice flow so less orange peel texture.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
I have a little blaster like that. works great. sure fills the coveralls pockets up quick though. haha.
curious what that black diamond media is and how it performs compared to sand. I use sand, works ok. thought maybe there is something better. does the black diamond leave a big profile? |
