I just bought a '91 d350 today and noticed the bull bar is identical to the one on my '93. Is this a factory add on or is a jc whitney or similar item?

This isn't a good pic,but its all I have for tonight.

I figured it was custom because its kind of crude looking. I think maybe a small shop made them around here because the truck I got yesterday had an identical one on it. I had some high school kid tell me a while back that it was factory,but he's a high school kid and also said I needed a banks tuner to get rid of the smoke.

haha. I live in powerstroke country so they don't know any better. The poor kid also brought it to my attention that excessive smoke will make my valves stick open and lock up the turbo.

At least he's proving he's consistently uninformed on your truck.
