and as you can the old bump needs new leaf springs
, New project looks like fun! Also looks like your rustoleum paint-job is holding up very nicely (can't wait to paint my truck in it)

Re: Bumps At Work!
I go back and forth on the idea of cleaning up / painting mine or just welding all the holes in the cab shut and leaving it as is, it looks kinda neat all old.1971ford wrote:That truck has character!!!

Re: Bumps At Work!
old pic of when I first got the bump. I was moving it around with a 76 f-100 I had. note an f-350 can handle more tongure weight than a f-100

Maybe a "Bent" or a "Dump". "Bunt" works too.MaxKlinger wrote:Hey, here's a stupid question: Could you call a Bump with Dent bed a "BUNT"?!?

Re: Bumps At Work!
beautiful. although I don't think I'd have the heard to plow with a bump, plowing is rough work and I treat my bump like an old lady most of the time. I'm sure your truck is more than up to the task!
