[redneckryder]

What kind of truck? There are MANY kinds of pushbars for many different vehicles. I know AutoAnything, our sponsor, has a pretty good selection. Click the banner at the top of this thread.

Well this is in the Gen6 section meaning he probably has a Dentside.

Whoops didn't notice that

No big deal. :

I hate to say it,but it's very rare to find original factory Ford pushbars.You're probably gonna have to just get an aftermarket pushbar.

 

[redneckryder]

i found a truck that had one on it, but the truck was crappy and it didnt run, but i should have asked him if i could buy the bar....the weston bull bar is about the same thing, right?

 

[Skandocious]

I don't believe the bull bar is meant to push anything, just for decoration and not very strong.

 

[redneckryder]

crap---can someone link me to a useable aftermarket pushbar? i cant find them

Them pushbars are plenty strong I got one on my 85 and we pushed the 76 around with it and it didnt have a ding in it. Its made by wildcat flash I think they have em for dentsides as well. Heres a link that Lee gave me.

Ive asked before if theyll fit 73-77 and everybody has said they will with little or no modification. Ranger429 has some pics of the different contours of the bumpers with different brushguards. Also heres another one for some super heavy duty ones.

A little expensive but theyre beefy and certainly meant for mowin down small forests.

I've got a Wildcat Flash on my '79 F250. Looks better than what the factory offered back in the day, in my opinion.

Here's what it looks like on the old beast. And yeah, that is my plate!!!

yeah i have a pushbar on my truck and it definitely has some strength with it! hell i was going down the highway during the big ice storm up in NH back in December and i hit a tree that fell on the highway right in front of me while i was doing about 30 mph(there was no one on the highway since it was 3am and there was about a foot of snow and ice on the road) i broke my headlight and grill because of the branches but it pushed the tree right off the highway!

 

[redneckryder]

that is exactly the one i am lookin for. ever since i saw Ranger429's truck, i think they just help the truck look beefy.

1985, thanx for the links, but those aren't what i was lookin for. Although, i might have to settle for one of those cause i cant find one that i want

Here's the part number but I couldn't find an NOS one for you anywhere in North America.

wow...i was expecting not in lower michigan or not in the great lakes area, but not in north america is kinda extreme.......

 

[Ranger429]

I have a factory style bar but it would require a new lower tube welded in. Someone in the past tried to pull the truck out with it and in turn yanked the tube out. If your in lower Mi your only a few hours from me.

Ranger429 has some pics of the different contours of the bumpers with different brushguards. some

What are you lookin for out of it?? could i get a picture of it?

 

[bucks77ford]

I think the original push bars look great on these trucks. Too bad they are hard to find.

 

[Ranger429]

I'd take 50 bucks for it. It looks just like the stock push bars but the lower bar is pulled out about 10". If you really need a picture I can get one but don't have one readily available.
