The authenticity of 54TOW's original '48 with the Smash Hit grille is vintage cool, even if it does look like a headboard.
I moved from Ohio to Colorado about 6 years ago. Some of the big rigs and pickups out here that travel the backroads have grille / bumper guards that are truly built to handle front end collisions.

The Smash Hit grille guards look like they wouldn't truly do much of anything, except bend back into the front of the truck and cause damage of their own.
