    Is the rear bumper also an air tank? I see a fitting on it. A welder friend makes air tank bumpers for wreckers only he uses round tubing.

    Yes it is. The farmer that I got it from made it;) I have never tried to put air into it but it is a cool piece of history on the truck for sure!

    I think it is a great idea.

    It is a great idea as long as the design and implementation is good. Air tanks can be quite dangerous if not done correctly. The location of the pipe coupling is convenient, but precarious.

    It's a conversation piece for sure!

    Lake, yes, I wouldn't want any pressurized air in there. But your right it sure is a conversation piece!
