Does anyone know if Barden Bumpers are still in business? Or if another company bought them out.
Any information is really appreciated.
DAD50 complimented on my truck and suggested a Barden bumper would look trick on my truck. I agree. Now I'm on the hunt for one to fit the rear of my 53 Chevy 3600.

Thank in advance.

They were popular on ranch and work trucks way back in the day

Most times when restores find a truck in a field with one , they ditch it as part of the restoration.


Its more an industrial/work look

They sometimes are listed on Craigslist. Very heavy and not practical to ship.


I don't believe they are reproduced.

Many homebuilt bumpers emulated that style. There was one on my truck when I got it, but was too badly bent to save.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
