Never thought much about it but I had a ‘68 / 50th with “special” bumpers front and rear. The rear was similar to these except the wording was built up instead of stamped in. I thought/think it was welded.
The front bumper was quite a sight too. It was built out of diamond plate steel and was a combination Giant Bumper and a toolbox. Probably 18 or 20 inches tall and 16 inches deep with 3 hinged lids.
Was a good ol truck that I would take back in now, but at the time it was just a good work truck that was bought cheap off the back row of a used car lot.
Wish I had a picture of it to show but was pre digital/phone cameras and my brother has all the family pictures..
