Nice find but I might have to wait on them unless I can find them used, they look like they can be cut down.
You need to change your name to Hound Dog, cause when you get on a trail you don't stop till you find it.
I have 2 and half sets of windows so I took the odd one over to the local metal shop and he is going to try out the water jet, I should find out on monday, if it fails I'm checking out the plastics but i have time.
.
So today I tried out the bumper and guard that I built for my other truck, what do you think do I make this work or build a tube bumper.
.
.
I need to raise it up do to the 1" body lift.
.
.
I have an idea for a cucv rear bumper as well.
.
.
Since I sold my Irocs and H2 rims I have been looking for some new to me rims.
I found these pro comp 17x9 rims on craigslist and got them for a killer price and I was going to spray them with plastic coat, until I cleaned them up and they are perfect so I think that I'm going to put these on my Silverado.
.
And put these H2 rims on the burban, remember these are going on the new 37" Nittos.

How hard do you want to hit stuff?
The cucv bumper is good for bumping, but it you want to hit rocks, I'd be cutting the flanges off the fenders and building something strong and high clearance.

I plan to de fang the front fenders and angle cut the bumper, right now I'm trying to decide if I like it, I think the skid will take most of the punishment.

Definitely a craftsman at work here. Wow, that looks sooooooooo nice! I'd love a Burb with that overall length. The CUCV bumper and center winch cradle are nicely blended too. It looks like a heavy duty Burb the should have been made by GM right at the factory.
Even my tna wings mounted to the cucv brush guard push in and allow body damage. I need to reinforce them with some triangulation back to the frame. The body on that burb is real clean. I'd want some more protection. These trucks also seem to like to clip trees just where the marker lights are.
Especially if you drive like me 
Love this truck though, one of the guys I work with has a Burn that I could get real cheap

Wish me luck, I have some lexan due on Thursday, I'll use all the advice that I have received.
Thanks.
Due to the body lift I plan on mounting the guard to the frame and then mount the bumper to the gaurd after I cut and reinforce them.
Tomorrow I pick up another rear bumper, should be good to go.
Speaking of rear bumpers when are you going to finish yours ?
Uhhh... That's a good question
Uhhh yaaa, I need to steal or should I say see some new ideas, so post up.

Just realized the pics ended before the bumper was finished....
I thought Deuling whored them all up. Where is he?
He's probably still trying to punch the dimples out the other way.
post a picture here I need some inspiration.

Had a little time today and got the body work wrapped up on the 1/4 panels, inside and outside, for now its blocked out to 80 grit primed and painted with some rattle cans and the roof is almost blocked out as well.
.

Also installed the new 31 gallon fuel tank and cut down the skid plate, time to start working on the bumper and cutting some windows.

Time for some 63 inch springs get them farther out to protect the tank a bit.
Looks good though
