Abstract
A push bumper for tow trucks comprising a rigid frame defining a flat center portion and rearwardly canted end portions with a front plate secured over the face of the frame and a back plate secured to the rear of the frame. The back plate is provided with upper and lower flanges which are matingly received within the front plate and frame assembly and with end flanges which project forward into supporting engagement with the canted end portions of the front plate and frame assembly. Channel iron internal reinforcing members are disposed between the front and back plates and a headlamp and grill protector is provided at the top of the bumper. Back end plates are also provided to close off the space between the ends of the back plate and the extremities of the canted end portions to provide a sealed structure free of openings through which corrosive materials might enter the interior of the bumper.
