Bumper plans

I'm looking for some blueprints/auto CAD drawings or something for a front bumper. I've got a buddy that will build me one, but he needs detailed plans, since he wont have my Pathy to "mock up" with. Does anyone have some plans? I still don't know how to use the search function, sorry.

 

Thanks.

OMG Have a look near the lower left of the screen, there is a box that says "Enter Keywords" and a Search Topic button next to it.

Try that!

ive got some somewhere from solidworks that i drew up for a project. i can give you. i dont have the mounts on there because those were fabbed as i went but my bumper is super simple, has a winch mount and looks clean and provides great tire clearence. and if the welding is good enough you could turn it into a air tank for some on board air

anybody with skillz enough to fab a bumper should be able to make one to fit your rig without "detailed plans". i have an Autocad drawing of my bumper but its not detailed out, i just made a 3d model of it and printed it out full size to make a template for the top, the rest i laid out w/o the drawing. i can email it to you if you want... you will have to come up with something stronger than the stock mounts, they are worthless. i rear ended a 2 ton flat bed with my bumper and the stock mounts crumbled like foil. i replaced them with 3/8" plate welded to the frame. the bumper attaches to the new mounts with (3) 1/2" bolts on each side. i would recommend (4) on each side or go with grade 8. i sheared the grade 5 bolts off when i hit a burm doing about 20 mph and came to a dead stop.

Thing is, I need measurements and such since he wont be able to use my truck to build from. I need it for school every day, and can't get it to him so he can do some work.

 

 

so measure your own truck and give them to him.

I did these in Google Sketchup. The dimensions are not 100% accurate, but should be close. The rear bumper was built by a local fabricator based on these drawings, although I did have to leave my car for a few days for the initial measurements and mock up, and then I had to drop it off a couple of more times for final fitting and installation. The end result:

I will probably be building the front in the next couple of months...PM me and I will mail you the drawing file.
