M1008 bumper on M1009

[paraclete comes]

gents was working all DAY on my bumper at the shop. Re-did the whole set up and fought the urge to just weld it on to my frame!!! I have three more holes to drill and than re mount it. WOW lots of work to do this but looks and works great.

I find it faster to just cut the holes with my plasma cutter. Lately I have been able to make bolt holes real well with the plasma and using stepping drill bit to smooth it out. I never thought a plasma would get so much use, but it has saved me countless hours working on my vehicle and trailer projects.

I may tackle the M1008 bumper Sunday, just have to be real careful and measure everything carefully before I start cutting. I have my M1031 to use as a reference point.

headed to church have pic and will post upon return. But you'll need to cut that frame pretty deep into the truck in order to accommodate the diamond plate step bumper plate. I was thinking of using the oxy acetylene rig to cut the holes, but may take your lead on the plasma cutter and hit it when I get home.
