I was up in Northern Pennsylvania today and I seen a CUCV brush guard at a garage sale along the road. I seen new GM boxes of sheet metal parts and that caught my eye. The sheet metal was all NON truck related. But I seen 1 brush guard. I was on my way to fix a tractor and knew I had access to a welder. The tractor fix was cake. the brush guard re design was a matter of calling my youngest Son and having him do some measurements. Mr Crusty needs a brush guard. This one was $20. and needed some attention. My Son sent us a few pictures and measurements and we proceeded to cut flat bar and weld. All on pictures and measurements. We put the flat bar in a press and bent it just like the original brush guard is bent at the ends.![DSCF3134.jpg DSCF3134.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/470/470055-4b60744ddf1f7cca8cda75f492e748e7.jpg)

When I got home the brush guard looked pretty good. The truck to fit it on was NOT around. Then it came back. ![DSCF3137.jpg DSCF3137.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/470/470065-f4965ae66ef6238896433aa7669eb4c0.jpg)
It fits. The darn thing fits. Oh yea picked up an old AX head and an old metal Grote reflector kit at the garage sale. They were freebies. Is putting a handle on an axe a dying art? I get all sorts of hammers, axes and mauls that just need a wooden handle. The brush guard will need some sanding and priming and then be sprayed with bed liner. Have a great day.
