    Have you checked with ARBUSA to see if its something they can get. It might have a sizeable lead time to get from AUS but I've been able to get some pretty odd ball stuff in the past. If you would like give me a ring and I'd be happy to look into it for you.

    This is going to be fun to watch, bummer about the no longer in america products, However for a bumper I would go to a reliable fab shop if you can't do it yourself

    Actually, there is a guy on this board that works for ARB that said they could get these parts on the next boat over.

    Thats a sweet B2600! That 2.6 is a mitsu engine. The B2000 and 2200 was a Mazda engine. Had several 2000, 2200's. They do run forever and can take a beating. I don't recall the Mazda mechanics being to fond of the 2.6 though. There wasn't much aftermarket support for the B2600 in '89! The chassis and all should be up to whatever you throw at it! Had a 4x2 extended cab that regularly hauled 12-1300 pounds of rock! Was smashed head on by a one-ton Ford. Pry bar, come-along, and junkyard radiator, drove it another year and half!
    Always wanted a B2600 just like that though. It is a super clean little truck!
    Low buckin' it.

    Mine is the B2600i so it is the fuel injected Mazda engine. The older B2600 is the carbed Mitsubishi engine which was a bird nest of vacume hoses. LOL

    My front bumper is all finished except for driving lights. I had this made by RLC Welding and Fabrication, I told him what I wanted and he made it happen. Great guy and does fantastic work!!!
