here they are. 
My question now... what era car or you going with?  Long and short bars were used, so looking to find out what you're after, as far as,doing the car to your liking and making it most correct for your vision.


For the record, the one in the pictures is a good looking bar and appears sturdy, but not correct.

I built a long set for my car.

In the meantime......
The narrow style bar was used til 1982 and the longer from 82-85.

Bumper extensions, with or without is correct.

Bottom bar should be centered with the bottom of the bumper, top bar roughly in line with the grille trim, and the pushbar itself should be pushed up very close to the bumper.  Can be welded or bolted to the frame.

Here is the correct narrow style as shown by Travis Bell in this short you tube video.  This car is Lee 1.

I JUST GOT THESE WITH A CAR I BOUGHT AND WAS LOOKING TO SELL THEM SO I WANTED TO KNOW IF THEY WERE THE RIGHT BUMPERS.....THANKS ALOT I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP I HAVE RECIEVED FROM THE KNOWLAGEABLE MEMBERS ON THIS FORUM.

The big pushbar isn`t series correct. It should have 2 arms that go to the outer uni body or if you will outer frame rail. One on the outer pass side and one to the outer driver side. The big ones NEVER bolted to the bumper like that. I will try and find a pic of a correct one for you.

I THINK THESE ARE THE MORE SMALLER STYLE PUSH BARS THEY MEASURE 26 & 3/4 INCHES ACROSS

[mikepmcs]

exactly, the one in the pictures is definitely the narrow style.  reference it against the tree and you can see it's small.

It looks like the big pushbar to me. if you didn`t post both, please do.

[richard pettys 73]

they are both the same size and length...as i stated i think they are the small pushbar types but wasnt sure if the were made to fit that ere of charger exactly with the way the cutouts were

[mikepmcs]

You can definitely see the difference in the Travis' video I posted(as far as the narrow ones go)
