But seriously,a mandrel "is" a big baboon-like ape that prolly could bent a pipe.
Heh, that's hilarious... a baboon!

A mandrel is a lead roller (in this instance) that prevents deformation of the material you're bending.

Re: Winch Bumper for my 72

I hope their customer service has changed.

Google Kennesaw Mountain.

I ordered a bumper from them about 7 years ago. The quality was miserable and they did half of what I ordered.

Re: Winch Bumper for my 72

Kurt, have you considered fabing that hidden framework up and selling them? I'd be first in line! That setup would be so cool for my resto plans, but I don't have your skills. Keep up the good work!

Re: Winch Bumper for my 72

This truck is awesome!! If I could pick your brain and get some details that would be tremendous help. You have inspired me to put time and effort into a winch behind the stock bumper on my 68.

Re: Winch Bumper for my 72

Are you talking about VT Blazer's blue Blazer? He bought that from Grendel (Former Member) who built it. It has a Ford Dana60 front axle and the trans is a TH400. Those are the things that stood out to me. It had 37/12.50-16.5 Swamper SSRs that I bought, when he put 42s on. He used that on a lot of trails and it did quite well.

Hiya boyz!
Tim you’ve got a great memory!

That blazer ended up being a beast on the trails, John began the build and having a good platform to start from, I cut/welded/massaged & added a ton more mods to finish it up and go have some fun.
