Thanks in advance, Indy

I saw a couple of oem brush guards on there a few days ago, might give you some ideas on how to make one.

Suppose to be for a 3/4 ton, but should be able to fit a 1/2 ton.

It would be interesting to say the least, to look at any older post with links to see if they are still there. I can assure you many are not, as I use the search feature often and find dead links constantly so that can't be the reason, otherwise we would have a "no links" policy. Its a shame that when we try to help people with information that they ask for we are defeated within minutes of posting so that this information can't be seen and that someone can't store the pictures in their photo album and repost them. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 129 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 129 | Can you find an accessaries manual? They have pictures. Mine is '58 so the guard would be different than yours.
