    Sharp truck. I think a chrome bumper would look good,and protect that rollpan.

    First of all, that's a bad *** lookin Apache. I am voting for the bumper to match the front and make it look finished!! Just my 2 cents. Really a nice treatment on the rig overall!! ~Sololobo~

    I was going to suggest a split bumper so I'm liking the 60 thing. You have the chrome to set off the wheels and front bumper and the look of the pan as well.

    back bumper will look right with the front, but I actually like the nerf idea.

    I like it how about one of those So Cal speed shop (I think that is who makes them) upside down U shape license plate lips around the license plate opening like you see on some roadsters . (it might add just enough chrome to tie in with the bumper. ) they are about the size of that opening..

    I agree with Matt, The rear needs a chrome bumper just like the front. Just my .02

    On second thought, If I were you I'd do it the way I wanted it. You are the only one that has to be satisfied anyway.

    Not trying to say loose this or loose that. But to do the truck justice it needs a rear bumper. That pan gives it a flat ***. The job you did on the rest of the truck is just spectacular.
     
  25. I can't take any credit on building this one. I bought it from another member. I'm just trying to personalize it. I changed the wheels, a few small details, and if you look up a few posts, the bumpers are on the rear now as of today

    I like it. Very unique in a good way. Have you any plans for capping off the open ends of the bumpers?
     
  28. I'll prolly just put some chrome carriage/bumper bolts in the holes, and move on to something else for now.
     
  29. Naw, that's too easy ;) Dig out a pair of bumper guards, say like 47-8 Chevy, and mount 'em upside down against the flat ends. :cool: Or not.:eek:
