Front Bumper

[Gizzardsniffer]

Well I finally found a front bumper that I think will work on my 50! I had all but given up trying to find a bumper yjay was the correct size when I ran across a set of bumpers at a swap meet at a local car show.The guy said he thought they were off a 1937 plymouth,Front and rear with the brackets,kinda crusty but hey,he only wanted $15.00 for the pair so I hauled them home.With a little bit of frabrication to the brackets I bolted the front on.Still need to fabricate a gravel shield but for the price I think it just might be ok.I know the picture doesn't show it very well,but maybe you can get the idea.

Looks good from a head on view, could you post a side view and maybe an angle shot too?

I think it looks great.  What is the eventual color scheme going to be?

Here's few more pics of the bumper at different angles,I'm not much of a camera operator but maybe you can see how it fits to the body.I think it will be ok once I fab the gravel shield.Tom I'm hoping to paint it Camaro Synergy Green,but things change.

Let me try this again,I screwed something up loading the pics,but that's easy for me!

[BulldogTom]

Are you going to paint the grill bars and the bumper the same color?

Probably so,at least the grill bars,I have molded them into the grill and filled most of the body seams as well!

I like it a lot looks really good. Im a fan of how it sits tighter to the front sheet metal of the truck and it fits the contour nice. Well done

Thanks for the coments,Rt your trucks looking good,it looks like it sits as low as mine.

With that Green color, black grill bars, bumpers and running boards might look real sharp.  I tend more to silver/chrome.  But my truck is red (at least until I sell it, then I don't know what will happen to it).
