Push Bars / Grille Guards

[droseberry]

I am having a hell of a time trying to find an old school push bar / grille guard for the front bumper of my K20. I really hate the new style "bull bar" but that seems to be all that I can find aside from the push bar with the complete wrap-around that protects the headlights as well. I just want a nice simple, clean and heavy duty chromed push bard/grille guard. Anybody know where I can get one? I'm thinking once I get one, I can mount some nice off-roading lights on it.

This is the kind that I'm looking for .. this is a pic of an '84 Bronco that I used to have...

I've been lucky enough to grab a couple of the old ones from the junkyard, they are very sturdy. They are also just painted, you almost never see the chrome ones.

look for some old Military trucks and get the whole thing from one of them... looks pretty awesome and is beefier than hell

Its not a bull bar, but this something one of the previous owners tabbed. I'm not too crazy about it.

Swims, mind sending me your dads bull bar? I need one lol

I would if I knew where the truck was.

He traded it off a long time ago. It was one his buddy had laying around, we drilled 4 holes to make it fit.

I'm sure it would take much to make this fit.

@ Bucket - Looks like you have one on your K5. How thick are the uprights and what diameter are the tubes?

T.O.87.C - How thick are the uprights on the one you built?

Just trying to get an idea of the general size, as I have thought about building one for my truck, and maybe other people that might want one.

I've got one on the K5 and the Burb. K5's uprights are thick, like 3/8s and the tubes are only about 2 inches but they are heavy wall. The Burb's uprights are a little thinner, the tubes are about 2.5 inches, but not as heavy walled as the K5's.

No, those are aftermarket. But they do look similar to the factory bumper guards.
