As long as the front fenders are on I decided I wanted to bend a little metal today. The truck came with the original front bumper and bracket. The bumper has a bend in the center but that would be an easy repair. I always thought the bumper looked too big and sat too far away from the fenders/grill. It was the first thing I took off the truck and had just planned on not running a front bumper at all.




After I got the rear bumper on I started looking at the front again and decided it might actually look better with a much smaller bumper on it after all. So this morning I dug up a piece of flat stock and built a simple one piece bumper bracket and hung the short leaf from the spring pack that donated the leaf for the rear bumper.




I don't think it came out too bad.......although I'm considering pulling both bumpers back off and painting them black.
