I don't work on the truck during the summer but I have been gathering parts and getting things lined up to go when I get started. I got an old buckeye delux bumper that my friend found at the dump, another friend powder coated it in a rough gold, it looks really good, he also gave me some scrap stainless pieces that I made into the parts that rusted out on the original bumper. I hand polished them and will finish them to mirror finish.

In the picture on the left there are 2 of these and the through carriage bolts attach to the 2 mounting brackets.
Picture on the right is the center piece and I will have to drill and tap two mounting holes for the brass emblem, I think it will look real nice but it has taken a lot of work.
