A look at the front bumper. I used a piece of 5 inch wide by 3/16 thick channel iron. This works well for the front bumper because it fits over the foremost part of the front bumper with 1/4 inch to spare on top and bottom. This bumper is shorter than stock at 42 inches long. I added 4 gussets on each side of the frame rail. These were constructed from 4 inch by 4 inch angle iron. I used the plasma cutter to shape the angle iron. I also "boxed" the outboard sides of the bumper for looks and design.
