Building a Bumper

[CHal1]

I want to build a bumper for my 86 k10 but cant find one that looks good. So who has some bad ass bumpers, bought or built I dont care just want to see what looks good on a square.

I was originally going to build a set for mine as well but ended up restoring an old warn bumper and will be doing a truck step bumper instead.

Honestly I just don't have the time right now to build my own but will most likely end up going that way in the end.

Holy crap I read your thread a year ago and have been looking for it off and on for a year. Man I love the whole idea behind that truck.

I personally want to build a tube style bumper that will fit 5 Hella 700ff's. Maybe a winch behind it all too. Similar to this guy's:

Homemade rear bumper on my burb. I used 1/8 inch angle iron and plate with a set of tow hooks from a F550.

I thought it might be cool to rebuild a stock bumper but out of 1/4" steel with no bends just all angles.

It would take some doing but would be solid and look very close to a stock bumper
