No way man.....That is an early 90’s Ford F-series front bumper. It should be against the law to install anything obviously pirated from a Ford onto a GM product.

Maybe, but it looks at home there

I think it looks cool and it does away with a major rust area on our trucks.

I know this truck was on e-bay before and we talked about it like a month ago. The seller is denying it ever being listed before if you look at the questions section.

My thinking exactly, if your gonna wheel it, your gonna bend it

not only does it not look bad, but it is now ready for a real, heavy bumper. one of the first things i do to fenders is cut the lower horn/cups off so i dont plow them and fill them with mud and water. now that its been cut back time to get some .25 plate and tubing.

I Kinda like it... I think...not sure...OK...mixed feelings

It looks OK, definitely gotta give credit for the effort and idea of fitting a Ford bumper on one of our beloved Blazers. If anyone cares: here's a couple shots of how we made my stock bumper line up with the body lift. I think it looks sweet

but obviously Im a little biased.

It doesn't look right to me for some reason.

Elsie72 · 11-18-2006, 05:55 PM

The rear bumper's a 90's ford unit, too!

The front looks ok. Really a smooth piece. I would think that there would be a gap in the center of the front bumper between the grill and bumper.

I might be on the fence about the front bumper but, I definitely dont care for the rear bumper, looks kinda

low-tech compared to the rest of the rig. Still a very nice truck. To each his own.
