truck just got rear ended by a drunk @ 1515

Is the bottom rear most part of your frame bent upwards? If so, what caused that Adam?

the last ~6" is the bumper bracket and curves upward from the actuall frame
different angle of same bracket it is a stamped steel peice... probly set up as a crush zone there are 2 bracket that run from the frame to the corner of the bumper skin... skin and brace was the only thing bent.

hopefully those are a better shot of it
lawrence: yes i was.. hammered the bolts in with a 4# baby sledge then tighted them with a 1/2 ratchet then 1/2 impact... got maybe another 1/4-1/2 on them with the impact

[malibu795]

All the pic's worked for me. Looks good!

Does the bumper stick out past the end of the hitch? That could be an issue with a sled hitch.

You can take the orange sticker off any time now!

yes it does but less then and 1"

8 bolts and the bumper comes over rather easily dont think it will be a problem

Looks good Adam. Just make those bolts black, like we talked about earlier and then it will look clean.

Looks great...wonder why we pewter trucks seem to have a run of bad luck getting rear-ended these days.

If I knew how to weld, that would be what I'd want...Sad, I work for a steel company and have no idea how to weld.

Good looking bumper and hitch.
