Jim, I’d never noticed before but in the photo it looks like the bumper & splash pan are welded together and smoothed out to be one piece. Your fit must be spot on. Nice!

Too bad the Task Force trucks never came with a splash pan. I considered making some for mine but in the crush at the end I never went back to it. This thread has me thinking!
