I often look at the web sight for what's new in the local wrecking yard. Just before Sunday I saw that they had a '74 Dodge P/U come in. I picked up a classic push bumper, and few odds and ends for my truck. I know some people don't like those things hanging off the front of their trucks, but I like them. This one was in very nice (unbent up, no dings and scrapes) shape, utility light tabs were perfect. Just needed the light rust, and bad paint knocked off. I brought it home, blasted it, and gave it new paint. Looks fantastic! Tomorrow I mount it (on the truck, get your mind out of the gutter!). Just sharing !

man I am jealous of the lack of rust/dents in your truck. I think the push bumper looks great, would of been nice chrome but painted should be just as good.

fine looking truck just the way it is without shiney paint. I like the pushbar just because you don't see them very often.

I guess I should have said "push bar". I guess .
Sam, I've already spent enough bucks on the AM/FM cassette conversion I had done. It now has an MP3 set up in it, with an amp. No cassette motor, just the door to look like it's still there. This truck is fast catching the expenses I've put into the Duster. NOT!

Bo Duke would be proud. Bring it over some weekend. I have some orange paint. We could figger out how to do the flag and numbers while we drink some 'shine.
The man is offering you a free paint job and some alcohol. Take him up on that offer.

When you said push bumper, this is what I thought of ...
I had something like this on my 74 W200, back when I had a Shell station.
