Anyone know where you can get a grille/brush guard like this?

There was a discussion about this in January...

Have you looked through this thread?

Thanks. I did a search for grille/grill guard and brush guard. I did not look for push bar. Thanks again.

Glad I could help. Be sure to post photos, if you find what you're looking for.

     I see those bumpers with that exact grill guard all the time in pick-n-pull, a local junk yard in Sac.  A lot of times they are on our style of trucks.

I still have not found anything new yet. Though I did put an ad on CL looking for these. Quick question: do these grille guards typically just mount to the bumper or to the frame? I feel like I have seen both.

A guy did respond with an old KC HiLite model that looks like it just bolts to the bumper.

Those imitation push bars mount to the bumper, much like the KC version pictured.

All of them that I have seen, even the one you pictured just mounts to the front of the bumper.

Well I ended up going with the bumper guards instead of the push bar. The ones that look like this (not my truck). Still a good look IMO...

I personally like the bumper guards; it may be that I grew up with a '76 GMC that had them. Whatever the case, I still think that '70's GMC/Chevy trucks almost look naked without them.

I think those guards look much better on your truck...
