bumps with lowered altitude!! (lots of great custom bumps!!)

[DDfab]

now if someone could paint in photoshop for me that would be great. the yellow one with the cowl hood. mine is built just like that. i have a smaller cowl scoop but otherwise same design. I am thinking of painting mine viper red on bottom, then black on top. dividing at peak of side molding lip.
if i get really good with gimp, sometime maybe i can see what it would look like with centerline convo pros on it. that is what i plan to use.
thank guys

thanks marz! ive been wanting to see more finished pics of that truck.

ya just gota love those smoothed sectioned bumpers and the tailgate!!

I really like the rear bumper.I wonder if it is something off the shelf or hand made.It also has the tailgate handle inside.

Calvin,

im sure its a custom job they made from a stock piece, and your right it looks killer!! thats the kind of things that makes a truely custom ride.

that has got to be the coolest truck ever!!! (until we all get done with ours)
td that does it for me i must smooth and section mine after seeing those.
the tailgate is the best part for me, how did he do that?

i think that is the stock "FORD" script grafted into some extra sheet metal and made to skin the center section of the tailgate.

rear bumper looks to be a econoline piece.my be a direct fit but the bolt holes most likely are defferent....

Yeah that truck is Bitchin. Very tastefully done!
THIS is the same truck; http://www.rosevillerodandcustom.com/68ford.htm



It's one of my favorites.
....Is it just the pictures, or have the body lines on the "bump" been reworked? They appear to be "enhanced"...They filled the factory seam, then it looks like they put a more defined peak on the bump. It looks RAZOR sharp!

This is one of those trucks where the longer you look, the more you find!

Mike,

your right the bump does have that appearance, do you suppose its the silver being bright on top of the bump and the shadow on the bottom side of it making it look that way?

if thats a off the shelf bumper, i wished i had known about it before i dropped $ into the new stock replacment one i have now,but like green70 said, i beat it had to have metal work and rechroming done to change the mounting points though. anyway around it it looks killer!!!

Hey Brad,I saw where a company called mar K already has a panel for the tailgate.Also they have a roll pan and handle relocation kit for our trucks.I think they also have wooden bed kits too.Where does it all stop? I can't afford the things I want to do to my truck much less all the new things coming out.I pretty much like mine lowered and stock bodied but I love to see others who customize theirs.

[marz68]

I read somewere that the bump spear was made sharper and that the back of the cab was tilted forward just a tad.
Can't wait for mine to get done. I'm saving some money to get me some coy's

[Calvin Gunter]

May as well put my bucket in this post too.

Damn nice looking trucks, I for sure need to lower mine. Just need to figure out how .

[427blackpearl]

ok guys.as i am in the process of doing my bumpers,you all have got me thinking and looking at stuff i shouldnt look at.
hence the silver truck posted recently.went to pull-a-part on the way home today and yes those are van bumpers.
it seams that the van has the plate in the door so the bumpers are smooth,also some of the front ones are the same way.
the vans are from the late 60s to the early 90s.i found about 6 sets some crome and some painted and the newer painted ones are in the best shape.
there is a mid to early 60s van that has a front bumper that is very cool looking , it is shorter top to bottom not side to side.
so guess where iam going sat. yes going to get some van bumpers,found some trim, and some bucket seats from a early van (like in a thunderbolt,low back)
