I've looked around but I can't find one so I'm going to build it. I think I have included a picture of what I m looking for but I have just been pushing buttons and hoping for the best. If anything pictures of other members bumpers like this would sure help.

Thanks for the help.
Welcome from the Black Hills! Those are "Barden" bumpers. Hopefully you may find one in a junkyard. I dig those bumpers too. A lot of folks hot rodding old trucks seem to get rid of these bumpers before they do anything else to it. I've got a step-bumper I plan on building the wrap around ends on one of these days for my '55 GMC, but I can't help with dimensions or prints.

The truck in your pic looks like it may be a 55-59, but the 60-66 used the same box setup.

Here's a few when I did a search for Barden Bumpers.

Post some pics and story of your '63 when you can.
