front bumpers

I wrecked the 93 lastnight! Its not that bad, but I need a bumper. Do we have any custom alternatives like ranch hand or anything like that? And what will fit? Thanks in advance!

Check out www.buckstop.biz, under 1994 Dodge and older. Cool bumper, even cooler truck.

Thats awesome! I wasent quite sure how one of those would look, but its cool. Whos guage pod is that, looks like Banks. I need some guage mounting solutions for the series of guages im planning. After driving a Freightliner with 20 guages, I cant live without quite a few of them now.

I have four 2 5/8 autometers mounted in the jockey box door with angle rings facing the driver, so far, so good.

Auto Meter makes a dual 2 1/16" half pillar mount for about $30. I used a grill guard off a 02 Suburban wnd made a full replacement for my 92. Had to do a little bending but it all lined up and looked great. I will try to get some picks.

www.reunel.com makes an evil bumper that weighs about 340 pounds without the winch and it bolts up easily to the factory holes for the stock bumper.

The only problem with the buckstop(and i love them. I really want one)is that to buy one and get it shipped to you will be around 2 grand. I used to work at a farm store and one customer was a professional welder with a 93ctd. He was going to make buckstop type bumpers for both of us because the materials cost was cheaper to split. I quit working there before that happened. Maybe I should go look him up...
Anyway, you might talk to some welding shop and show them the Buckstop picture. Some guys just want to bolt a big piece of channel on the front, but some can make a nice looking bumper.

Jockey box door?
I have the dual pillar thats got to get mounted yet. Here are the plans for my guages...
Pyro, boost, trans temp, rear temp, oil temp, fuel press, fuel filter restriction, air filter vacuum, and Tach
I already know im going to mount the pyro and boost in the a-pillar, and oil temp on the column with the 94+ holder. BUT the other 4......
like I said after you have used this many guages for REAL uses, its hard to live w/o them!
