73-80 Chrome brush guard - make me an offer

You're good guys. I've been out of town but the first chance I get to tear it down, I'll get you the pattern

So I tried to pull it apart but the allen head bolts are bigger than what wrenches I have. I'm going to see if I can find or borrow one from someone and tear it down this week. Sorry for the delay guys.

Personal experience with those tube push bars with allen screws...... they rust on the bolt internally and will round your allen key before you move the bolt. I had one on my 94 burb and tried to tighten it up but couldnt... the deer i hit proved that they NEED to be rock solid tight!

Jeebus. Killed the guard and it almost saved the grill. Hope it was the end of the miserable vermin.

Damn, it would have been way worse without the brush guard though. With the bumper twisted like that I wonder if it tweaked the mounting points on the chassis?

I thought I was the only one that put lucky horse shoes on my grille! Although in your case, it doesn't sound like it's all that lucky!

@donnieray, did this brush guard project ever go anywhere?
