Bigdogtrucker Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Seems to be more of a highway style. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36831-r-model-bumpers/#findComment-257393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Should still have the straight channel type for a '73.Like the one pictured.The bent-back channel type off a later RD would look good too.You would need the frame extension mounts (easy to fabricate) for the newer one,though.

Bobby j Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Why not use channel iron and cut off just before tires.....mount fog lites underneath good looking set up that's how we did them at overnite........bobby j.

thomastractorsvc Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 This would look cool, a little over the top but you could hit some $hit with out hurting the truck https://www.32chrome.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=156 Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Superdog Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 This is what you are looking for. I don't have a side view pic,but the bumper is extended a little farther the the highway type bumper. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36831-r-model-bumpers/#findComment-257412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
