Just put on the bumper I got at Pull N Save. Looks a heck of a lot better than the original, you can see the original's a bit tweaked. And that's after I straightened it when I bought the truck. Of course as bad as the breaks were when I bought it I guess it's something that it had bumpers left at all.

re: "New" Front Bumper On
Hey TOF...
Yeah, that looks lots better... right on.
I replaced the original painted bumper on my '68 CS a few months ago with a chrome I got from a yard for $35, I couldn't believe the difference that it made.
Did you have the push bars or did they come with the new bumper?
Take care,

re: "New" Front Bumper On
Thanks!
The push bars came with the new bumper. I think I paid $35 also, bought other stuff at the same time, but I believe that was the price for the bumper.
It was a perfect find and perfect timing, I went to the yard for an A/C compressor for the jeep and found the bumper just sitting up by the fence and just the day prior I was looking at my old one and telling myself I really need to replace it.
Even guys with habitual bad luck get lucky sometimes.

Hey TOF...
That's way cool. I always like to hear that someone got a good deal. (especially one of the guys here on the forum)
Now if ya come up with a Shelby Cobra GT (not a Mustang) for $100, I don't even wanna hear about it...
That's my idea of the perfect commuter car... oh yeah
