Arrow savageoffroad's '85 Pickup Build-Up Thread"

I've had this bone-stock (yes, those ARE 235/75/15s) 85 pickup for years now and I've decided that it needs a little improvement. The paint looks rough, but the body is fairly straight, the interior is in great shape, and it only has 260,000 miles on it. I just rebuilt the motor and it has a Marlin trans in it.

I decided to start with the rear bumper. They're available for sale here.

First, I removed that scabby old trailer hitch.



The bumper bolts on to the factory bumper holes on the frame. I had to relocate the license plate about 2" higher so that the numbers would clear the receiver.







Let me know what you think.
