Anybody ever do anything custom about bumpers on their d100?

My are in real bad shape, but am considering something custom being that little on this truck is original.

Any pics of what you've done different?

You can use ford bumpers from LMC.

Others have used a roll pan on rear. Have seen a few that have used the 300 filler panel on the front...maybe someone can pull some up. Soop??

I have seen many different things over the years. There have been the popular Ford bumpers, later Ford bumpers, later Dodge bumpers, GM van bumpers, C-channel bumpers, roll pans (front and rear), 1 ton or larger truck filler panels (pictured below-the bottom one appears to be custom made), etc. I don't remember everybody's names so it would take a long time to find all the examples.

My favorite is that top picture large truck filler panel.

Thanks for the info and pics. I do like that filler panel, but I think a bumper plays well into where I'm going visually. I wish those ford bumpers came raw steal so I can paint it, I will have to poke around a bit online, now that I know what to look for.

Thanks again.

Are those ford front bumpers bolt on our will I need to fab up new brackets?

You have to fab some brackets. There is a thread on here. I'm sure someone can pull it up for you. I'll look a little later.

I got mine new for cheap through my local body shop (a friend). I used early 70's Ford F-100 front bumper and early 80's full size Dodge Van rear bumper for the back..
