On my 26 model t the owner gave me a rear bumper. I think it’s off a newer Chevrolet. I’ve been thinking of cutting this bumper into three pieces. The middle I’m torn between lights or a bumper. If I just have bumperetts it will look like 70 Camaro. Any thoughts? Thanks Jerry
Ditch the bumper. It won't help you if Karen plows into you with a Suburban & hot rods look better without them. Make up some nerf bars, if you're really worried about low speed bumps.
Yet another no. Looks like good swap meet material though.Someone with a early 50"s build would like that.
If you are concerned like i am about a ''nudge'' from behind you could do what i did on my T RPU.. or not. JW
@26 T Ford RPU Good idea on the ‘bumper’, on my 32 hi boy I made a real heavy spreader bar for the same reason. I am curious about those tail light brackets, are they home made or adapted from something else ? Do they flare out like a ‘32 bracket ? Any pics of the rear of them ?
I'vee got a 3 inch diameter piece of stainless pipe for a rear bumper on my 48 that is a larger and somewhat similar version of what 27 Ford rpu has. My buddy built for me when I was going on a road trip to Bonneville in 1998. Simple and efective as it does have a few dings. Smaller would work better on the A.
only if you have a really cool bumper sticker . You don't have a sticker cool enough to make that look good . A couple nerfs maybe .
