Bumpers?? What on your shoebox?

Im in the need of some bumbers on my 50 ford.. I ve been toying with putting different ones on just curious What on yours???

 

Mine has stock ones, but i've always liked the 51's more...

 

ok everyone is probably tired of seeing this one but here is my car it has a narrowed 57 chebby

 

49 plymouth 3 rib. on the 51

 

You're kidding...right?

 

My neighbors car, narrowed, 57 Chevy front. Narrowed 56 Chevy, rear...

 

I m talking about on my 51. i have 49 plymouth bumper on the front, and a flipped and narrowed 63 chevy truck bumper on the rear.

 

Caddy ends...

 

I don't mean to offend, but I hate those bumpers. Especially on anything but a Plymouth. Just my opinion. I think it takes away from your car, which I might add, looks awesome...

 

I wasn't offended. It'd take alot more than someone not liking my bumper to offend me. i ran the plymouth bumper cause it came with the car, and I didn't have the money to spend on buying parts for a custom bumper. that and I like it

 

I'll be putting '49 Ford bumpers on my '51.
The '51 bumpers are too big and ugly.

 

Yea, I ran that Winfield wing grill, because it came with my Merc. I didn't like it either. I know exactly what you're saying. Some guys on here can't take critism, without calling you out, HA HA HA!!!
Didn't you have it for sale, a while back?

 

yeh Id prefer the smooth 49 bumpers with smoothed bolts on my 51, but with chroming becoming unaffordable, not likely. the chev bumper on that green one looks brilliant!

 

i had 49 plymouths on my old 51,,,i liked the way they looked,,,there are bumpers that look better,,but i think they have a nice look,,,,,now, briz ribbed bumpers,,,THOSE suck...

 

i like the Caddy ends they look almost EVIL! im thinking about going with a 56/57 Oldsmobile front bumper and 55 or 56 Pontiac rear on my 49 Ford. im going to use 56 chevy side trim and 55 chevy headlights, so might as well keep the GM feeling going huh? a 57 Buford front might look good also ( kinds like a 57 chebby).

 

I put a narrowed 56 merc bumper on the rear,haven't got to the front yet.

 

I'll be using a stock '51 piece on the front with no holes and '55 Poncho fronts frenched into the rear pan with no holes and either a Kaiser overrider or the Poncho one.

 

55 Pontiac Safari wagon rear bumpers.....

 

NICE!

 

thanx for all the responses the Been wanting 2 do the Desoto teeth but trying 2 find all the teeth is ridiculous..

 

you could still do the desoto bumpers, www.thenightprowlers.com has them, though the ribs don't seem to be too well liked.

 

thanks man.. I am looking for the 53 desoto..

this site is amazing how everybody Gives their input..

 

i have to agree on the Plymouth rib bumper... doesnt look good IMO. doesnt seem to fit the lines of the car at all, too shallow.

i really like the narrowed tr-5 Chevy bumpers though... very nice.

 

got a set of plymouth 3 ribs if you want to go that way. PM for price.

 

i always like the 49 plym. bumpers on shoe box fords shit i have them on my 50 chevy now the brizts 5 rib bumpers they just suck

 

I used 51 Merc front and rear on mine. Narrowed and shaved.I also ran the exhaust through the guards. Worked for me. You can see it at www.timebombs.ca under the Shoeze and friends gallery...Time-Bomb John

 

Got '49 Plymouth originals for my '50 also. They were free, straight and have nice chrome as opposed to my originals which were exactly the opposite shape.

 

Awesome replys man! I have some serious work ahead!

 

i love the poncho rear bumpers.

 

Wow! I really love shoe box Fords!!
