It is now covered with 2 coats of herculiner. Not bad for about 4 hours with a work.

the d-rings are on the back of a CHEVY if you have a FORD you would put them on the front.......anyone guess why?? :p

Tigman250:
My ford has over 268,000 miles on it. One transmission, transfercase, and driveline and the motor was a Tim Taylor request, 300 horsepower. I give it abuse but maintain it well. I put a huge bumper on the front to push chevys!

I am not a chevy basher, ford, chevy and dodge all make good and bad, I prefer blue oval, and they have been good for me. Others don't have my luck and that is fine. I own miller and I used to own lincoln, I like miller better right or wrong its my choice, and I don't bash the other guys. We enjoy welding and that is what this fraternity is all about.

Peace,

I take offense to your signature, speaking as a person that lost a finger due to the incompentence of a coworker, if you think it is so good you should try it. I'll supply the surgical instrument, a chainsaw perhaps!

I was hoping I wasn't the only one. The real world is NOT OCC. We take safety seriously as professionals in our trade. Please don't make light of it.

Like was asked, where do you plan on putting your plate? Also, for those Ford guys out there, of course you like them all, you're putting up with a Ford after all :D Just kidding!

Good looking piece of work. I live in the country, for my needs back up lights set in some stubby pipe protectors would be more advantageous.

The bumber looks great! Looks like a very good job to me..that's something you can be proud of... It would have probably took me 2 days to do that *LOL* Nice work!

Thanks everyone for your comments....


The license plate is going to be put in the back window. I am in the process of making a tailgate tire carrier. It's going to be like one of those you see for 850, but I probably can do it for around 100 out of some 1 3/4" DOM.

The thickness of the metal is 0.26" thick. It's heavy duty for the boulders that I climb over....

With over 900K miles on one 69 F250 on one rebuild at 473K hard miles, yes had Dodge, Chebbie also. The FE (Ford) motor will save your A$$ in the long run (built correctly) like Miller welding products. Have had others thru the years as a test, a Miller for life member now.
The above vehicles are pre 70's without plastic and cup holders.

That is a great looking bumper but I do think u may have forgot about ur plate too...lol I built a wonderful bumper one time out of 2 -2" schedule 80 tubes slid through a pair of shaped plates to fit the truck with holes for the tubes. It looked awesome and was so simple. ;)

But what about the licence plate
and to the tigman 250 that drives a LADA car if you made the same bumper for the front then the D rings would come in handy for a FORD to pull you out of a very shallow ditch
anyway on your bumper I think you did a good job better than most
that I have worked with. Grade - B
