I know such an odd request but I'm wondering how many guys are lowered and are deciding to run a pushbar, factory or aftermarket it don't matter.

Not sure if this qualifies as a "Push Bar", but I've decided to keep it because it is vintage.

"Smash Hit" it says on it made in Waco, TX. The bars are SOLID round stock and not tube. The ends are forged into shape.

At first I wasn't sure, but it has grown on me so now it must stay!

Of coarse it does and it looks sick too, I might try and snatch pics up from my archives on my computer. I saw your truck in the wheel thread and I thought about making this one to see how many people have pushbars or grill guards and have their truck lowered. Lets keep this thread going

When I think of push bars I have memories of push starting Sprint cars when I worked on circle track racing. Them were "push bars"... of course it was like having a snow plow hooked up to your truck all test long!

You mean like the big slab of metal that replaced the bumper, see them on alot of old tow trucks, I bet puttin one of those on lowers the truck a couple inches lol

Not lowered yet, but this is a push bar IMO.

Not a very good shot of it but all I could find.
