hey guys
I have been carged with building a set of bumpers for a friend of mine's 2000 ford psd. Since I, nor anyone I work with, owns that specific body style I have little to go off of for a template.
So the question; do any of yall know a resource for plans for ranchhand style bumpers?

Hey sign, your Moose Bumpers are designed to protect the truck when hitting a Moose, we have slightly different targets here in the US!

The Ranchhand replacement bumpers are popular out here in the oilfields.
Good protection from deer damage. I hit a doe once on the highway with mine, and just vaporized her.
Usually made from 4" pipe, and many use it as an air tank.
On a light work truck, a vise or other tool is often mounted on a rear replacement bumper.Miller Pro 300

I built mine out of card board first to work out all the angles and make sure it looked right first. Then I had all the cardboard templates to transfer on the steel. Mines all assembled and welded but I keep adding crap like inset fog lights and A front bumper trailer hitch for moving trailers in and out of my way
I used a winch style bumper by Road Armor for a Ford as the design and built it to fit my Chevy. I cant wait to paint it.
