You going to paint it to match the bottom of the truck?

I like it too! 8) IMO gray like the bottom of the truck would be a nice look. ;)

Nice! Going to put any tow hooks on it?

I've been thinking about customizing a stock bumper to have recessed driving lights and a winch (for my 4bt Ramcharger, that's nearing driving stage).

While you certainly have better skills than I, you have given me some encouragement to at least give it a whirl.

Yes most likely it will get to hooks. Glad i could be some inspiration to you! Youll never know how it will look until you try.

nice bumper man! I always like seeing what guys can build in their garage/shop I wish I would have taken more interest into that kind of thing in school, However I'm trying to learn as much as I can now a days.

Its been awhile since i did anything with my bumper. Between work and my rat rod ive been busy, but i need to finish it. I really didnt like he way it looked from the side, so i cut it down alittle and am goin to make apiece that angles into the fender instead of straight in. I also did some more grinding and welded the mounts and the light buckets solid.

You're going to give up the blue print specs on this bumper, right? :jumpsmile:
I like it, especially how you've dropped the center down to clear the grille.

You're a Smart Feller, fart smeller. :razz:
I'm interested, since my welding and fab skills are, shall we say, lacking. :roll:
I won't hold you to anything, though. I know how time-consuming this type of stuff is and how other things take priority. 8)

You did a good job. I never got started on mine this winter. You give me motivation.
