Mike Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I always wondered why did some company trucks bumpers were shorter or cutoff. I myself think tires were an ugly rotating mass and needed hiding. Same as high fender wells are ugly also and should be hidden Just my point of view.mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/11000-c-grier-beam-truck-museum/#findComment-41725 Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 i was always told they got a break on the insurance in the event of a blow out the bumper did not explode with the tire. or was it in the event of an accident the bumper did not take out the front tire?That's what I always heard-in case of a collision the bumper wouldn't be pushed back against the tire causing steering loss.

Joe Ditchkus Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Thanks for the good pictures. I was always under the impression bobbed bumpers were to save tires in fender bender accidents. Joe D.
