Bumper swap

[Dirt road chevy man]

Im looking into putting a modern bumper on my truck I have made a few edits with half ton bumpers and 3/4 and 1 ton bumpers from a 2016 body style the bumpers are a bit wider and I think would have to cut some material out of the middle and weld it back together but if done right I think would look deadly. I haven’t seen it done but I want to and I hope this inspires others.

Half ton gets my vote. 2500 bumper looks to big imo

I actually really like the big beefy look of the 3/4 ton one. I’ve always thought the obs Chevy has kind of a pointy front end and needed to be taller and beefier. Some angles look good but some look pointy and too slim

Here you go.

Haha pretty much that’s why I love the 2014-2018 chevys so much they look like a modern version of the obs chevy

Your second pic with the bumper fog lights looks very fitting for the truck.
The bigger bumper may impede airflow around your intercooler.

Here’s some new ones with a 2021 style bumper

Personal opinion here, I don't like those 2021 bumpers because they have "steps" on the topside. The older ones have a smoother appearane because they "line up" with the grill. No cut-outs between grill and bumper.
Still, whatever you decide, I support, because it's different!

On a big jacked up truck, those steps would be great. My 08 megacab has one big one, believe me, I need it.

When I made my front bumper I designed steps on each side as it is the only way to get up and down when working on the engine, especially when you don't have the benefit of a step ladder like when on the side of the road.
