Rear tube bumper
« on: April 11, 2009, 10:23:40 pm »
I fabed up a rear tube bumper out of pvc and duct tape  ;D to get a design I liked.  Will be building out of metal soon and plan to powder coat it silver like the frame.

Sweet design! I really like that. Just make sure when you put the clevis's on the bumber bracket you make it so that can't swing and make noise against the tube bumper.  Beautiful truck too! I love the color  ;)

Very Nice.   I like the PVC Idea.    When you build the real deal are you going to spec it out?    If you do will you share?

I would love to follow suit and build one just like it.
