    Now all you need is a cow bell hanging from it.

    A set of those bull balls would accent that quite well.

    To answer your original question: Kinda neat in a differnt way. Fits the truck.

    It looks O.K. on that truck. Not something that I would do. I have to say that adding the one to the gate is just going too far though.

    Hard crowd... Why do you say that? Because we aren't bending over backwards to pat you on the back for something that looks goofy as hell and honestly has no connection to a traditionally styled hotrod?

    Why do so many people feel the need to get on forums to fish for compliments and ask for recogintion? Dude, it's a bunch of horseshoes tack welded together and put in place of a bumper on some rusty ass truck. What do want us say? "Oh, it's so creative!" "WOW, what an amazing concept!" Why don'tcha take it a step farther and remove the bench seat and put 2 horse saddles in there instead? Whhhooooeeee!! Now that there would be some real traditional hotrod stuff!!!

    NHR- That would be something to see. At least it would have a leather gut.

    How much horse power does the mill produce?

    ... Sorry, I'm bored at work and couldn't resist.

    WOW, no better way to tie it all together then with a real jack-ass! Give the guy some credit for doing what his customer requested. At least it ain't a bunch of damn skulls. ...must be a city kid.

    Heck how many of these "traditional" trucks came from a farm originally.

    It reminds me of the things my great grandpa and grandpa would build, yes, that would be traditional.

    I dont think being from ANY city has anything to do with it...

    I had Horses as a kid, My parents STILL have several along with many other animals, So that really dont make a difference.

    NailHead hit the Nail on the Head.... This is Ridiculous !

    So the customer wanted it, GREAT ! Guy got paid, GREAT !

    Leave it at that.

    Its just as Bad as Spider Webs & Skulls.. Just a different Avenue.

    Viva La 'Ol Stool Rod'z...

    Maybe he should Do a Tech on it and show how to build one so everyone with an Early truck can Build one.

    JEEEESUUUUS !! :(

    You must of not read the last sentence.

    " It reminds me of the things my great grandpa and grandpa would build, yes, that would be traditional."

    I don't think they would have made skulls and spider webs...

    I tell ya what, you either like it or you don't... just don't be a jack-ass about it. That's the thing I hate most about the HAMB, the jack-asses.

    Well, you asked for opinions...and nobody is gonna sugar coat theirs around here!

    I like horseshoes, but that bumper just doesn't come together for me. It needs something more...or something less...I'm no artist, I dunno.

    As long as you got paid that's good work :)
