Re: 73-87 4x4s
Bradley...I had just come across their site not long ago,then saw those in the thread and someone asking about them. Nice bumpers but too pricey for me. I'll make my own. They will be 2 x 6 tube w/o all that angular stuff underneath. A lot less massive.
Quote:
 . I have an open full-floater for it,just did the straight swap from the Suburban for now with components I know the history on. Plans would include a locker and going over for the full-floater and a Dana44 front that I have a Trac-Loc for. I just wanted to keep it simple and get it all under there for now. I have the 4L80E/NP241 from the Suburban I'll probably swap but an NV4500 would be great. It needs a roll bar,winch,and bumpers made to be where I really want it. I'll have to get some better pictures with it in some action. These are at my house and by the river where I had a job to estimate.

Re: 73-87 4x4s
I agree Tim, $2K for a few pieces of steel? Spend a few hours making a design, then have a local welder weld the pieces together if you cant weld.

Re: 73-87 4x4s
I would much rather buy one of these less than half the price http://tacticalarmorgroup.com/TAGSto...3/Default.aspx and they also make rear bumpers with an optional tire carrier

Re: 73-87 4x4s
I believe Medusa was splashed with hot liquid chrome and immediately threw up from the shock then Boreas(Greek god of north wind)froze her there with her puke. Which was then found near the frozen Mammoth still eating. Which was bought by the man who owns this truck. The truck's name is Cold Ralph.
Like my explanation?

Re: 73-87 4x4s
just picked up this 77 shortbox. 90k original miles. 350ci/th350/np203/3.73. Truck has original paint but is faded. No real rust to speak of other than a little on passenger side fender behind tire. Floors, corners, rockers, and box is super nice. Right now it has 33/12.50's with no lift. I ordered a 4 inch lift and bought a used set of 35's for now... enjoy
