Bull Bar or Grille and Headlight Guards

[DonTX]

I am unable to find a source for running boards and grille guards for lst Gen trucks, Is anyone aware of a source for them? Ones like in this photo is what I am referring to:

By the way, if you were wondering whose truck that is, it just sold at auction on EBay for $9200.

Might as well skip the guards and go all the way.

My bumper came from Texas. Nice bumper, but the finish sucks. Coming off bad. Bought it new Jan, too. :{

On my 93, I have a grille guard that is similar to the one you have pictured. Instead of the bars running horizontal like on that one, mine has expanded metal. It looks pretty good and is pretty stout. It was made by BIMCO out of Bloomfield, Iowa. I will see if I can get a picture and a phone number.

I don't find any connections to BIMCO on the internet, probably not in business any longer. I think most all of the places ceased production long ago on that old stuff, just hoping someone still has one laying around in good shape or even new. In the old days we just called them grill guards, now you should see the many names given, like Brush Brushers, Bull Bumpers, Cow Pushers, and so on. Makes it hard to search on EBay for one.

Here is basically what I have on my pickup. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Bimc...ryZ42611QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem



I covers pretty much the entire grille. As far as being in business, I'm not certain. There are quite a few pickups around here that have the stuff, even new ones. There might not have an internet site. I'll see what I can dig up.

Might try GO Industries.

here's a pic of my 78 Ramcharger and the brush guard I got from True Radius Bending out of Santa Barbara, CA.
