I've always been of the mindset that the best blueprints are the ones you come up with yourself!!!

If you design a bumper yourself, you will get all of the ideas that you want in one bumper.

Yeah try it yourself. I’m making one right now and what I did was I just bought sheets of cardboard and painters tape and measured the front end and stuff on my truck then whenever I had time or got bored I messed around trying to come up with a bumper and I just finally got one I like. Also while on the topic does anyone know what dimensions you should need for a winch? I don’t have the winch yet and to complete the bumper I was needing to know how big of a space I need for like a 10k pound winch

Start with some cardboard sheets and make your own design. That's what I did for my Nissan.

I did change the lower angles since this, I made them go inboard more.















I need to finish the jerry can mount (and restore my 1943 Jerry can)



I don't recommend using the factory frame brackets to mount a rear bumper.
