Looks really nice. Don't remember exactly what I gave for mine from AJP when I did my restoration, but I know it was way more then that. Keep up the good work Guy, never know I might find another M151 to restore. Larry

Why do the ends of the bumper appear to be hardened/ heat treated? And those are some interesting forklift tires, snow tires?

That is how the material came in. Guessing they do that when the un-roll it from the coil. Keep in mind this is 13 ga. We have multiple buildings up here so those tires work nice. However, the guys still bury them in the grass during the Spring.
