Re: Put a front bump on the back 73-80?

I think this came up recently in another thread (custom bumpers?).
I think that the front bumper has too much angle on it to look good on the "flat" rear.

That looks great. We really need more pics of that from different angles.

That does look really good. I envy all of you that don't have to have a mandatory front tag, like us Marylander's do. It looks like the design of the bumper itself allows it to tuck in to the front end tighter.

Re: Put a front bump on the back 73-80?

Thanks for the props. I do not have very many pics of the front end, I do need to take some more. It does tuck in really nice, I had to narrow it about 2 inches & really cut up the factory bumper mounts to get the angle right. I haven't had to much time to work on it lately, trying to get the truck over to my work so I can redo some of the metal work. Since I started working @ a restoration/hotrod shop, my standards have gone up!
