As long as my sense of direction isn't all twisted, he was towards the north east side of the swap meet right against the fence. Had baby blue doors and fenders sitting around the truck. Truck was bare metal and rusted. No floor or engine. No wheels either.

Yeah when I went by the first time his son was the only one there and said he was wantin to sell it all together. He said he would ask him once he got back though. When I came back he said his dad wanted an arm and a leg for the bumper by itself. I said well put a dollar amount on an arm and a leg. He said 75$. I said sold. I haven't found a bumper, period. And this one is in damn good shape IMO. Not sure if that's high priced or not, but a glass bumper was 125$. So I felt comfortable paying what I paid.

Little to tall! I can't go much taller without rubbing in the rear. Thanks though! If it was a 55 series I'd be all over it, that's about as big as I can go without raising rear

yeah 325/50 should work. may have to raise the rear a little, but should work.

I had hoosier slicks, they just get tore up quick on the street. Would you be interested in those? I have two pairs.
