I was up in Northern Pennsylvania today and I seen a CUCV brush guard at a garage sale along the road. I seen new GM boxes of sheet metal parts and that caught my eye. The sheet metal was all NON truck related. But I seen 1 brush guard. I was on my way to fix a tractor and knew I had access to a welder. The tractor fix was cake. the brush guard re design was a matter of calling my youngest Son and having him do some measurements. Mr Crusty needs a brush guard. This one was $20. and needed some attention. My Son sent us a few pictures and measurements and we proceeded to cut flat bar and weld. All on pictures and measurements. We put the flat bar in a press and bent it just like the original brush guard is bent at the ends.When I got home the brush guard looked pretty good. The truck to fit it on was NOT around. Then it came back. It fits. The darn thing fits. Oh yea picked up an old AX head and an old metal Grote reflector kit at the garage sale. They were freebies. Is putting a handle on an axe a dying art? I get all sorts of hammers, axes and mauls that just need a wooden handle. The brush guard will need some sanding and priming and then be sprayed with bed liner. Have a great day.
