I am in the final stages of my C30 build. The cab is pretty much done, so now I need to focus on the flatbed, and such. This truck used to have a fire-truck body on the back of it, which had a rear step, and bumper integrated into the body. Now it has nothing! I have a period-correct flatbed for it, but while that is off, I figured what better time than now to construct a rear hitch/bumper/step set-up? Anyone care to show pics, of how they built theirs, or just pics of the "factory" set-up for these? I don't want a full width bumper, but just a center (half width) type ideally with a good place to step up onto the flatbed incorporated, and of course, a place to mount some lights. All ideas appreciated, and welcomed! Thanks guys!
