Have you ever welded on Galvanized stuff? It's rather toxic.

I'm not trying to say that it 'wont work', as really, you can make anything work. But if I were building a tube bumper, i'd be sure to use something with some strength...

ok, so.
finally got goin on the bumper. bought 10' of 2"x8"x1/4" rectangular tubing, 10' 2"diameter tube 1/8" thick. $160 in materials.
main run across the front is 4' of 2x8. we used a setaline torch to channel out the back to cut down on weight. on the ends of that are 2x8 sections 12" long angled at 35 degrees. and on those ends are 8" 2x8 sections turned back at a 90 degree angle to the main run and then capped off. we ran out of time last night so we made shitty temp brackets out of scraps and mounted it to make the truck legal.
next step is the up tubes. 2" tube coming up 14" at 45 degrees and then a 18" horizontal bridge in between them to form a grill guard and house my after market spots. build and completed pictures will be up in a couple days.

Tony if ur still interested let me kno. i talked to my buddy helpin me and he's up for it. i think we could do it for around $300, maybe less but thats up to him
