No your not hiyjacking as your trying to help and on subject.

Don't know how much shipping would be but that would sure save me some fabrication time! If i was close i'd snab it up!

Red72blazer- Did u make urs or did u buy it somewhere??

mhs1954 · 11-21-2010, 02:56 PM

One option to think about to hold a spare tire could be to mount a trailer hitch reciever in the front of your truck and a spare tire carrier, bike rack, luggage rack ect can be interchanged with a nice clean look.

I do like the look of the brush gaurd and think I will look for one for my 70.

Just a thought.

It came on the truck when I got it in the late 90's. It's been on there a long time. Probably the early 80's. It is a production piece, though I can't find any identifying marks. It's a lot beefier than some of the other tube push bars that I have seen in person.

I can get some better pictures if anyone is interested.

longhorn396 · 11-21-2010, 08:06 PM

Well I dont really have the time to make one or the tools that are needed. I can get the stuff to do it but i prefer to just find one. But nah i dont want u to go through the trouble to take pics i appreciate it though. Im hoping someone on here will have one for sale like urs cause i cant find em anywhere else lol

oldblue1968chevy · 11-21-2010, 08:20 PM

Craigslist if your lucky and want to pay shipping.

oldblue1968chevy · 11-23-2010, 01:44 PM

So no reproduction?

oldblue1968chevy · 11-24-2010, 10:10 PM

I found one today JUST LIKE red72blazers..

But its on a 73-87

It mounts to the 4 middle bolts on the bumper..

Does anyone know if 67-72/73/87 bumpers are the same pattern? Its white but Would looks great powdercoated or even painted again (rusty).

Thansk!!!

longhorn396 · 11-24-2010, 11:50 PM

i wish i could find one i seen one on a 70's chevy but the guy wanted it so yea

oldblue1968chevy · 11-24-2010, 11:55 PM

I need to know if 73-87 is the same pattern as 67-72

they still sell the 73-87 brushguards?

oldblue1968chevy · 11-25-2010, 12:02 AM

looks the same but i wonder if the countour to the bumper is different

Sport/Truck · 11-25-2010, 12:06 AM

I snapped a picture of this brush guard at the salvage yard!

RED72blazer · 11-25-2010, 04:49 PM

Those LMC brush gaurds aren't as beefy as mine......I do have a extra guard off of a 73+ truck somewhere....I'm going to take some better pictures of mine and the other one so you can get an idea of how much stronger the one on my truck is.

oldblue1968chevy · 11-25-2010, 04:52 PM

I just wanna know if there the same(mounting wise) LOL

lmc is crap anyway, there books rock though

**special-K** · 11-25-2010, 11:09 PM

The spacing of the frame rails is the same on 73-87s as it is on 67-72,but...the 67-72 front sheet metal comes to a greater peak than the flatter 73-87 body.Then,the fact that the bumpers have completely different profiles assures that they will not interchange.

oldblue1968chevy · 11-25-2010, 11:12 PM

rats lol

thanks special k

that means these things are gonna be tricky to come across guys

**special-K** · 11-26-2010, 09:43 AM

I used a snow plow mount for 81-87s on a '71.It fit in every way except having to be moved forward a bit.Of the four mounting holes,two worked and I drilled the other two.It was designed to use the front spring hanger as a shear stop and I welded a tab on the frame to do that.IIRC the whole mount was moved forward about 2",maybe a bit more.The fit to bumper wasn't an issue because it went behind the bumper and I made one from 2 x 6 tube anyway.This'll give you an idea of how close dimensions are between the two designs.Later winch bumpers can be mounted with very little adaptation.
These things are simple to make.I should consider making some up.I made up a Blazer skid fuel tank skid plate thinking people would buy them and it's still sitting after 3 or so years,a few swap meets and listing in the parts forum.That thing cost me $125 to make and I was offering them at cost just to provide a cool product to fellow members.You used to be able to buy these brush guards for about $75 (25-30 years ago).I wonder what people would pay now.I'm not offering at this point.Just pondering.
