Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..

Thaks Dale , if that bumper could talk, oh the stories it could tell...!!!!

I got bumper welded to the mounts and the splash guard fitted and welded in..took a insane amount of time trying to get the guard to fit properly..
From yrs of use and abuse and welding, the 5x5 angle was warped ,twisted, and bent.. I cut the splash guard straight..and of course that dont work ..so I did a lot of "grinding to fit".. but its welded in now..
The ends of the guards I rolled down in a radius, not sure about that look , but with fenders and taillights mounted, itll be harder to see
Just ahead is the license plate mount, and figuring out where I want to mount the backup lights.
I want the lights under the bumper..I have very low profile LEDs for that, did not want them hanging there looking obnoxious..
