Push Bar Grille Guard Help!

I need help finding a company that makes a push bar for a 1998 E 450 or somebody who has one for sale. Or does anybody know if other years and model will work. Thanks!

If you are actually wanting to push another vehicle, then I recommend BuckStop because it has a flat front surface. Other options are Reunnel (sp?) and RoadArmor but both have projections that could damage a vehicle being pushed.

Thanks for the info I am looking into them now. It seems most are to big as I need just the push part to protect the grille more for mounting lights on than for anything else. I do not plan on pushing any vehicle but it would be nice to know it could if I had to.

In that case, QuadVan is another option. Low Profile but space for lights.

Well ujointclothing that looks good but I need to retain the factory bumber, and most sites I have been turned to do not make anything so far, so still looking. I did not think this would be so hard, and all I want is just a plain old grille guard. Thanks again.

Hey I like the scoop idea, but I need to retain my factory bumber so I don't think that will work. But thanks for the scoop idea! I will just keep looking for the grille guard.

Thanks sixiron, I'm thinking I might be better off just having one made. I know they are out there asI have seen them, just nobody knows were they got it. Also did I read right that your 98 E 350 has 575,000 on it?

sixiron, thanks again have contacted them not sure if it would be cost effective with shipping and all given that I just need a grille guard. I did find out that the E 350 and 450 cutaway do use the same bumber from 98-2001. Now I just need to locate somebody who makes a guard for the E 350 cutaway and not the reg van, as I am not sure from the pictures I have looked at if the bumbers are the same. But do appreciate the help and will keep looking.
