cool bumper. looks nice and old fashioned in my opinion- gives the truck a bit of a retro look. Nice!

what make / model is it?

Got around to finally fixing my shifter boot. Whenever I put it in 2nd, 4th or rev I could hear the road noise under the truck and some exhaust fumes if I was idling.

Got a quote for the rims I bought to have em sandblasted, 20$ a rim and 20$ for primer. So 100$ isn't bad, may have that done in the next couple weeks one I get around to getting the old tire off, valve stems and weights.

I could do them myself but the guy I'm taking them too does a very nice work and gets em done fast.

What color you guys think would look good painted?

Just make sure the lug holes aren't oval. If they are don't spend any money on them as they will never stay tight.
If there good then I would go gloss black.
