Need help bending back bumper

[53chevy]

Well i'm tring to find a way to heat up the bumper and use a come-along to bend it back. I have a propane torch but i don't think it will be anywhere the size i need. Anyone know where i can get a oxy-acy. torch for a good price? Thanks guys

get a log chain and hook to a tree. My brothers and I did this all of the time with an old s10s rear bumper

is it a stock type bumper?, or one that was fabbed up with some tough steel?

my brother ran into the drive tire of my semi truck one winter, and pushed my bumper into my fender, we just yanked it out with the winch on the tow truck from the following job

You can come-along it back out without the heat. When I was in high school, I sometimes had a fender bender in the Ranger I was driving then. Whenever that happened, dad and I would just take the come-along, anchor to a tree, and pull, without pre-heating. Always got the job done.
