I would love to have one as well, but you wont find one cheap. I saw some for sale somewhere a while back and they were a good $800-$1000 or so, cant remember exactly.

You are probably better off making one yourself from some tube steel and diamond plate. That would be a lot cheaper and you could do virtually anything to it that you wanted.

ya i figured but i wanted to know if anyone had one all rusty in the back shed or something. lol. im gettting ready to make one. about like that one. i like to tree push and rock craw that stupid steel bumper jnust keeps gettting bent. lol. so im goin for something a little better. i'm goin to make it out of 1.5"-2" solid piping. and go to the welders shop up here and have them bend the pipe to look right. lol. once its done i think i should be alright.

then i'm making skid pannels for underneigth and rock sliders for the side. plus a spare tire carrier off the roll bar in the bed and a tool box somewhere back in the 3' of bed i have left and i need room for 2 gas cans and a high lift jack. i like offroading i'd rather be ready then sorry.

getting the 9" rear ready to get put in. needs new axels and im changing the gearing too so i can roll larger tires better. and get better millage on the 35x12.50s i have now. so it will be brand new once its done. lol. and look it to sand blasting the sucker. and painting it.

What year is your truck and what transmission? The rear has the VSS in it and the electronic automatics need it to shift right, and '92 up need it for the speedometer too. It's also for the ABS.

C6 is a 3 speed non-computer controlled automatic. Speedometer won't work with the 9" rear if the truck is '92-'96.

my buddys dad has the stuff to make the speedometer work. and the c6 i know its automatic i missed two words lol, i wanted "a c6 or a manual." and yes its a 3 speed then put an overdrive box on it. and a buddy talked me out of the built straight six so i went to a carbed 302, then my buddy dad talked me out of that and now for sure were putting a carbed 460 with a middle cam in it, c6 with an overdrive box, and a custom built transfer case, my budddy makes them, lol, 9" ford rear with either 4.56 or 5.13 gears, 40x16.50 and 10 or 12" 1 ton lift, dana 44 straight front axle, or if i can find a dana 60 but that would be a maricle, custom drive shafts made. and a few other things. she'll be **** when its done. might have the 460 in a few days. and the C6 and a trany to fit the C6 all for about 700.
