In the picture is the style of push bar I had on the old chevy I used to drive. I'd like to find one this style for my 09 F250 but all I keep finding are those tubular ones that only come up about half way up the grill. Is that all there is anymore for an option? Anyone know where I can find the style above but for my Ford? Thanks. Attachments:

Ranch Hand = BIG $$$$$$$$$$$
I have been looking for a serious deer killing front replacement for my '97 F150 as well. Have seen nothing commercially made so far that impressed me.
Had a Bull bar just like what Rich is looking for on my 90 F250. After it was on the 91 F350SRW I rolled over forward. It didn't break in the crash, but it did first deer I hit with the 250. Guess it wasn't 85mph impact rated.

Had one of those pushbars on an '89 GMC 3500. They work pretty good. Pretty much everybody 'round here has gone to front-end replacements. Then the front bumpter is completely replaced and the grill guard incorporated into the bumper. Most are made hell-for stout. Here is a link to a local guy that sells them. I think all the pics are ones he has put on. Not that you need to do business with him but gives you an idea of what is available: www.raurepair.com/

This is a good pickup. I'm not turning it into a painted front end for pushing cows and deer.
I want the bar for looks more then anything. I am not getting a ranchhand.
So back to my original question that has yet to been answered..... Is there anyone that still makes a bar like my pictures show for a 09 F250?
rl.... I can buy em cheaper then Galen sells them.

I had a top gun grill gaurd on the front of a 2007 Dodge 3500. My dad has a whole grill gaurd on his 09 V-10 and it still has the factory bumper, I can see what kind it is if you want and maybe some pictures. Not sure on the cost as it was part of the deal when he bought the truck.

Good welder will build you anything. I don't see many like yours, most everyone here who has one has a full brush guard, very few push bars. Seems like it is Ranchhand 10 to 1 here. Notice, I'm cheap, I don't have any guards on my truck, too expensive fueling one up anymore, I do less than 100 miles a week anymore in my personal truck. Edit: Rich, how about this www.goindustries.com/home/go1/smartlist_267www.autoanything.com/grille-guards/61A2353A0A0.aspx

Not to hijack your thread or anything, but still somewhat on topic, what I am looking for is something frame mount that will not give when I hit something that would otherwise push my bumper back. If it leaves me needing the wipers to get guts off the windshield so much the better.

Side note, RIch, how'd you like those New Venture radial APR's? I cannot find them anymore. I thought they were good rubbers. Good on snow ice dry pavement gravel and got the job done offroad. I liked the price too. in '04 the set of 4 ran me $506. Same size replacing them with Kumho's this past summer ran me $994.

SoFaking, might be well overkill $$$, but these people look good, I imagine they want a nice price as well. The flatbeds don't look bad either. www.armormfg.com/
