    looking for some bumper / back end inspiration for my 46 Studie pick up... was thinking, I have alot of detailed vision of what the rest of the truck will look like, but I have no idea what I want the back of my truck project to look like ( there is currently no bumper )...

    I'm going to just roll pan the front, but would like a rear bumper / reciever hitch on the back... totally no clue what I want it to look like... need some inspiration

    BTW... not looking to specifically copy anything... I like to do my own thing... just need some inspiration... I think I have a good idea for the bumper... just looking for ways to tie everything together

    got the plumbers crack cover though... ;)

    Not mine and the truck is obviously pretty street roddy and not traditional but the bumper treatment shows a lot of thought and detail.

    Thanks DUDE... one of my ideas was to take a standard front bumper ( maybe the front bumper from this truck, since I wasn't planning on using it on the front ) & incorporate it into the rear... my 38 Nash originally had what they called a gravel guard... something similar might look good

    GASSER... that was kinda my other thought... since the front grill has ribs running up & down, I thought about something like a double tube bumper, with 9/16" or 5/8" rods going between the horizontal tubes, that simulate the grill rods

    ( I want to make a stand alone new front grill that is the same size & shape as the original, but uses like 3/8" rods, instead of the stamped sheet metal )... if I did this, the rear bumper style I mentioned above might look nice...

    keep them coming guys, as I said, I have no clue yet, what I want the back end to look like
