That thing is a beast! But dang...... $1100 is steep. I can get single bars new around $400-$500, its the bumpers you cant find any more. Thanks for the link, I'm going to keep my search going, I'm willing to drive a few hours to get one. Out west it seems they are everywhere.
Sorry i couldnt help. I was looking for one to put in my square but then i cant use my tool box so i gave up. I imagine it cant be too hard to home fab one outta pipe. (Bumper that is)

We couldn’t find one for a Stepside

Finally found one but it wasn’t for a Chevy because it was about six inches too narrow

We cut it and spliced in a section of exhaust pipe to make it the right width

That’s all I could find

It fit the sides ok
But wasn’t wide enough

Just cut it and spliced in a section
No one has ever noticed the splice
But get lots of compliments on it

If you look close at the top pic you can see the splice

Your truck is exactly the look I want to achieve, I originally started out looking for a set of slotted mags or turbines/hurricanes but couldn't find any in 8 lug that weren't 16.5s. It was a roll bar for a Toyota I think. Way to small, havnt had any luck finding one around KY at all, I think I kissed my window of truck fans by about 30 years lol.

Do you remember the sheriff's truck from every which way but loose? Or the truck in Red dawn? That's my dream truck. I'd kill for a good step side long bed for my truck, seen a post a bit back in the craigslist section and just missed it by a few days.

Stumbled across the 15” 8 lug slot mags on a local CL


Gotta do some grinding on the front calipers to get a 15” rim over it
