Bumper pics, what do you have? How much did you pay?

[IDIoit]

One of my closest friends is tryin to get these out on the open market.
700 bucks ready for paint & install.
450$ if you do the welding!
Plus shipping from CA
His design has 7-4" holes in the center, I wanted to do my own air ducts

Not my body style but here's a bump for your friend!

Seven holes in the center...sounds busy...maybe a pic or sketch would help illustrate his idea?

I'm not much of a fan of the holes.. however if there was an option to mount a winch in there....

 

[IDIoit]

this is why i had the hitch installed, i have a 12000 pound winch on a receiver.

i wasnt a fan of the holes myself. this is why i didnt get them.
i have been busy on other projects, so in due time ill finish it.
plans on some kickers and a brush guard.

I like the bumper pic you first posted. Its not obnoxious and kind of nods towards the factory shape. I also like how its on a truck with the same colors and body style as mine!

 

[IDIoit]

that should make it an instant sale

Very nice piece, very "factory-ish". I like that the hitch doesn't hang very low too. I love a front hitch, but I'm not a huge fan of losing ground clearance to get it.

Custom bumpers are pretty hard to market these days as everybody seems to have a plasma or water jet cutter and a big bending break. It kind of gets down to the "dollars per pound/bend/inch of weld" but I give your buddy some credit for making a nice but subdued design and taking it to market.

There selling like hot cakes locally,
Thought I'd throw it out to you guys and
See what you all thought.
I've been working in the custom world
With him for 16 years now,
Now if I could convince him to throw a 7.3 in his 48 ford,
I'd like him a bit more lol

well after 4 months, i finally got some color on mine.
installed a guard, and cut some vent holes.
hopefully it will cool a bit better when going up steep grades.

Can he Make One For a 86 or just for The Newer Powerstrokes?

 

[IDIoit]

He's actually designing one for my brick nose right now, with a 12000 pound winch.
i think the frame rails for the slant are different tho.

thought about having him make one that deletes the lower filler panel.

Ok. We'll I'm Definitely Interested. I would love to have one.
