Wondering who here would have templates for some of these bumpers... I smoked a deer last night, and well, I'm going to need one for when I do the paint job on my truck.. can't have a bashed bumper on a nice rig right? I'm especially looking for a template for the top part, and will be modifying the lower part to my own taste. I like the idea of push bars, but they can make working under the hood a real PITA. I am a little autocad literate, so that format would work fine for me. If anyone can help me out with any of this, that would be *really* appreciated... All the work I've seen here looks great!

Measure twice, Cut once , make a template , duplicat if someone wants one too .. $$$ :tu:

Hehe, yep!, I've actually got most of it drawn up now in 3D, Fellow around here has a CNC plasma cutter I'm going to use to cut it out, Leaving "hinge" points in the bends so you can bend it into shape before welding it. Going to use 5454 aluminum (the stuff they make dump boxes out of) in 3/16, it should weigh around 40 lbs.

Other than that, I bought the new paint, cab is off, frame is POR15'd, New engine is ready to drop in and all pretty too. I figure in about 10 days it'll be good to go... can't wait, it'll have been a month without wheels for me. Yes, I will post pictures, but it'll take a while before I get the bumper built.
