Question about push bars - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

NuBomb · 01-24-2007, 12:29 AM

I would like to find a push bar to use on my 72 blazer. Is there an application that will work on the 72. In searching I've found that listings don't go that far back. Will a 73-87 work with minor modification? Just looking for ideas.

They are pretty simple to build.All the work is in coping the bumper contour into the side plates.I made one for a pipe bumper in a few hours once.I don`t know the current price on the ones that are available.I wonder what a custom-built would cost.An easy way would be to get a crappy bumper guard for our trucks and scribe the shape off it.I have one on a truck but it`s not so pretty.Not sure if I`m keeping it.But,if I did,I`d want to make it look better:

I would either trim-down and round off the top of the sides closer to the top tube or I`m thinking it`ll look good cutting it down to just above the lower tube.I would also add another tube @ the bottom.What do you think?
