1940_dodge Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Every picture I have seen of a D14 Dodge the front bumper does not have these two upper portions. Was the a bumper from another model car, aftermarket addition, or a homebrew setup from a guy pretty good with metal working? http://i.imgur.com/BVgR1.jpg (Hi Res) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 The main bumper looks to be stock 40 Dodge the upper part is an add on either a dealer installed accessory or an aftermarket piece. Bumper overriders were a popular option or accessory in the 40 to late 50's. There were many sources and configurations. Google 1940 Dodge and select images, there are several that look similar to yours in design and installation which suggest that yours may be a MOPAR approved and or sourced dealer installed one.

Do you have any links? I haven't seen one that has the two middle struts going across like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouthy Adams Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 the bumper and the bumper overriders are synomous with the year but I tend to believe that the gravel shield was optional for that and earlier years and as such not as readily seen...not like the 41 and up where I believe the peice was standard feature..the front butterfly shape is less defined with the absence of the shield..

There's no cars with my bumper on there. Maybe you're not seeing the two bars going across horizontally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobT-47P15 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 OK, there must be some humor in this question...........I guess if it's a "rogue" bumper, it must be the Palin model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouthy Adams Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 actually you would find a Rogue bumper on a Rambler (AMC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randroid Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Gents, The Rogue River runs through Grants Pass, Oregon, and we have a forum member living there so why don't you ask him? -Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Randy..I guess the bumpers there would be large rocks or deadfall logs jutting out of the river's water.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Smith Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I've never seen those two bridge pieces in the center between the guards. I have seen more without the extra bumper side guards. Which reminds me, I'm looking for the clips that hold the license plate to the passenger side guard rail. Any ideas? More than likely an aftermarket accessory someone added to boost the looks.
