Want to hear from All of the hamb

Ok building a 53 International 110, short box, Im going to post a pic . 2 questions for yal ! I just want to hear opinons, not sure yet what i want to do about the rear bumper? Not sure if it was build or came with the truck . should I lose the bumper ? just asking and yes i know its a matter of pref. yada yada, if you owned it would ya take it off ?


QUESTION NUMBER 2 . I need taillights and have a set of 59 caddy lights if the bumper is gone where should i mount under tailgate or in fenders? anyone savy with photoshop ?? thanks hambers

 

anyione ?

 

You know where you can put them?........IN THE TRASH!!!!! Go with some '50 Chevy Pick-up lights. '59 Caddy lights will look stupid...
Oh yea...lose the bumper too.

 

ok ........ anyone else ?

 

hahahahaha!!!!

 

farm truck keep em. hot rod truck lose um

 

If your going to pull a trailer with your truck leave the bumper. If not do away with it. put the tail lights in the ( french them ) rear fenders. If you leave the bumper you can put them in the bumper.... Now this is only my .02

 

change that avatar and you might get some more help...

i agree with bad bob, the caddy lights will look like a quick afterthought.

 

I'm with Bob. Don't use the cliche Caddy lights. Yeah they might be cool but they're everywhere. Do something different.

 

As said, if you're rodding it, lose the bumper. If not, keep it. As for the lights, it's my opinion that 59 Caddy lights belong on nothing but 59 Caddys.

 

I had a bumper like that on my 69 GMC. I wonder if a company produced them? I would lose the bumper though.

 

"harumph harumph"!!!!!!!

 

HAHA! This coming from a guy with Mr. Rogers for an avatar...

 

Wow you have alot of work ahead of you. My father in law has a 52' long bed sitting in his yard that's in great condition. Always wanted to fix it up. Still has original working motor, well last time we checked. Maybe when we get the 57 Chevy done we can start on it, or just sell it! Anyway good luck

 

I like that truck for some strange reason. Might look cool really really low, and chopped. But all else bone stock. Leave the bumper!
have fun

p.s I think Bad Bob has a crush on your avatar.

 

I really dont think you want to HEAR from ALL of the HAMB !!!!

 

You want to hear from all the hamb? That's 100,000 people! Hahahahaha! Just kiddin' with ya, pumpkin. Well you asked for opinions, and Bad Bob gave ya one! You think maybe he doesn't like caddy tail-lights, at least on pickups? Hahahahaha! OK, pumpkin, I have to agree with getting rid of the bumper, unless you want a real utilitarian look for your pickup. But considering that you're thinking of using Cad tail-lights, I don't imagine that's what you have in mind. So off with the bumper! Now...you didn't even ask us to give an opinion on what kind of tail-lights to use, you just asked the best place to put 'em. But I've got to say, that unless you're gonna do the rest of the truck in a real custom way, I might suggest using different ones too. If you're gonna lower it, and give it a "Dream Truck" persona, then by all means use them. If the truck as a whole is gonna be subtle, use a more subtle tail-light. Where to put them? In the back of the fenders. I've never liked roll-pans. So put a nice chrome bumper on that thing, and tail-lights in the fenders. Good luck.

 

I'd lose that step bumper ASAP. I wouldn't run a rear bumper, but would suggest you adapt a chrome bumper if you're inclined to do so. I've seen some decent chrome rear bumpers on old Stude pickups.

 

Standard chrome bumpers and no cad taillights....yes the avatar is very creepy.

 

You should run a bumper I kinda like that one but a chrome blade will be nice
But PLUUUHEASE no rolled pan BTW Mr.Rogers wanting to insert something in a anus
not gay? HMMMMMMM !

 

It's a friggin' truck, leave the bumper! Everybody yanks 'em off, I personally (remember-opinions) think trucks need 'em. Flake on the Caddy tails, too. Put something more utilitarian on there. Remember, it's a Binder, they ain't purdy anyway!

 

I vote for keep a bumper but not that bumper. And no on the caddy lights. What about a body color bumper pulled in tight with 49 Merc tail lights at each side that wrap around with the curve of the bumper ends.

Cool truck, good luck!!

 

Keep the bumper, shitcan the Caddy taillights.

 

That bumper is kind of cool..you don't see them like that much anymore..I kind of like it ??

 

If you are gonna pic an avatar ,Please pick a Hot chick ,NOT OPRAH WINFREY .

 

Keep the bumper, it's unique just like the split rear window.

 

its your truck, what do you like?

 

Lowered, pie crust slicks, haul-ass motor of your preference = farm truck from hell.

Don't sweat the details right now... get the thing where you want it mechanically, then tinker with the appearance.

I can't figure out why people can't leave these old farm trucks alone... what the hell did it ever do to you??? hahaha

lose that ugly excuse for a bumper and can the caddys i would use the merc tail lights that wrap around the qtr.(49 i think)

 

I used to hate these bumpers 25yrs ago, every truck in every field I looked at had one! But I like it! Keep it, unless it's a show queen that's never driven, bumpers are your friend. ( I know, a guy with no insurance rear-ended my truck last month) Besides, that's considered traditional now, isn't it? French in the '59 tailights. Just my opinion, but what do you expect from somebody from hooterville?
