Re: 68 project
Do not let him fool you, his truck is in much better condition than he gives credit for.

Re: 68 project
After looking at this bumper I had out back and Robert and I discussed I had to hold it up on there and I think I actually like it. It will allow me to build the trailer I have been wanting and an actual way to pull it, plus it goes along with my military theme I am doing. And is not real obtrusive. What is your opinion on it ?

Re: 68 project
Not to sharpshoot you but it doesn't look level against the bed side there. Once you level it off and tuck it in there it should look fine. I'm wondering what to paint mine, the front bumper is chrome. I was thinking of combining the paint colors into the bumper and use Van Halen's guitar style. Probably too weird. I like your military theme, reminds me of the old Willys jeep.

Re: 68 project
So the rear brake system is coming in today, but instead of the work I was planning to do on my truck some of that time will be replacing the motor on the compressor, 646.00 for a new motor !!!

Re: 68 project
I always hated the wrap arounds a lot of those bumpers had.
Chop the ends off (It even looks like there was a line where they were added??) and its actually a pretty nice/clean looking bumper.

Re: 68 project
I am sure it is not level as the jack is the only thing holding it up there right now.
I have mixed feelings on the wrap around, there is a separation there where you marked the red cutline. I was originally going to use a sport bumper but the more I looked at this and the thoughts of my theme it just seemed to fit, plus it is different and I like to be set apart ![]()

Re: 68 project
OMG, I had one on my truck back in my Clemson days... I had a small triangle shaped Clemson flag on the top. Don't ever talk **** to truckers on I-85... they can dish it out, but they can't take a joke... My top bed rail still has the big 1/2" hole I had to drill for it.
