Looking for info on custom bumpers

[blacksmoke94]

I bought this bumper used but I think it's for a Chevy. The mounts don't look like they'll work in the factory mounts on my Ford. Does anyone know of any manufacturers that still make these old style tube bumpers for these trucks? This one is a Smittybuilt and I can't find any place that still makes these. I love the style of these and am not sure if I should go to the trouble to find a way to mount it or just give up on it and go a different route. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Just realized pics didn't upload. Will get them up.

Pretty nice looking bumper there. Surely someone still makes bumpers to fit our trucks. Did you try Smittybuilt? They may still have something. If not, check out off road magazines. They have bumper manufacturers that advertise with them.

Make your own or buy an off the shelf one from these guys and mod it to your preferences.

There is a youtube video as well of a different design, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g08JB_lbjL4

I'm planning to make one this winter from mostly 3/16" plate.

Owning your own fab shop certainly opens some doors. haha. I was a machinist/welder for nearly 30 years and if I still worked in a shop, believe me, I would build one too. That would be a fun one do design and build.
