4perrev Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Damn dude, I had one of those bumpers also. Bout broke my toes dropping off and my wife tripped over it and quickly told me to scrap that piece o sh!t. Did you see the license plate mount that I fabbed? I did that because I didn't have the original plate mount, but only the welded piece that was attached to the bed. Not too difficult, but I did have to re weld the bowtie bracket higher because I measured one and welded. Should have measured twice and then welded! OOps, but that's what learnings all about!

RatRandy Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Like it! How did you mount it.. ? Are you gonna color match or leave it alone? Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Used "deep throat" clamps from Lowes to get it home. But I'm gonna use more appropriate camper shell clamps. Quote Link to comment
720inOlyWa Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Such a sweet looking little truck at the regulation height. Upright and ready to do a man-sized job. I don’t understand: why change it? Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 You mean change it by adding the camper? Cause camping. Lol. I rarely use it for hauling and never use it for towing. But it's capable for sure. Quote Link to comment

skyblue Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Doh!! What show is it? Adam? Not familiar with it. Where does it air? Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Adam-12 a 70s police car patrol show it's their call sign on top of car. Since it was taped in and around the LA area there is a huuuge amount of Datsuns and cool old import cars to be seen. It is kinda funny how expensive VW bugs andf 356 porshes are now ,,when you watch this show the only thing that out numbers 356 Porsches is VW bugs. Early seasons look like they are shot at a studio lot,, but later episodes they are driving all over the dang place.. One season the opening credits are with car turning corner where a 311 roadster is parked ,,one season opening credits, they are pulling out and backup right next to 510 wagon. Don't get me wrong it's not a great show,, but the amount of crazy expensive cars (now) being used as daily drivers ,, will blow your mind. Publicity shot ,, show is in color though. 2 Quote Link to comment
