PUSH BAR!!!!

 

[TexasGearhead]

So would it be easier to find a push bumper or make one? I'd like to know what the expert says lol

from the posts, make one... my other thought is you could probably get one designed for an s10 or something of the same time period and retro fit it if it werent to big... they seem to be relative size across the board though

yeah, there are too many variations of size to retro-fit one off another car. But if you go that route, here's what I recommend. Find one that is relatively straight, and not curved to match the fit of a particular vehicle. Most bars these days are curved to match the round front end of the car they came on... where'as our cars have a reasonably flat front end. Then, weld some tabs on the bar as attachment points to your bumper. Also, try to find a bar that is roughly the same width as your gril... this is mostly an asthetics thing, but it stands out more... forexample, the bar on my GP is much narrower than typical, but it's the same width as my grill. The pushbar sort of frames the front end.
