CHP push bumper Crown Vic

[John10608]

When CHP removes a vehicle from service, it gets stripped.
All of those parts go into bins for recycling.
Those bins go to recyclers in the Sacramento area.

You have to go to those recyclers, find the part you want and pay by the pound.
That is how I understand it works.

Unless you can find someone that has been there and has purchased those parts to resell to collectors or people restoring these cars.

CHP will not sell parts to civilians that they have removed from patrol vehicles.
Good luck on finding your item. They have a lot of crown vics right now they are removing from service, that at least, is in your favor.
Hope that helps some.

Yes sir that does help.

I finally spoke with someone else who also said that they take the bumpers to the scrap recycling yards.

Do you have any idea which scrap metal places it is they take those to? The other gentleman I spoke to said it's somewhere in Rancho Cordova. Not sure how accurate that information is. He does work in the EVOC garage.

I bought a number of shotgun racks from this recycler back in 2004 and at the time they has a literal mountain of push bars there:

Sunshine Steel Enterprises
8265 Belvedere Avenue
Sacramento, CA 95826

(916) 455-8371

Not sure they are still being used by CHP but they are located relatively close to Rancho Cordova.

While we're on a similar topic...if anyone has a decent CHP rubber bumper pad for one of those push bars (or even a pair), I could use it. The pad I have is "ok" but has a small amount of damage at the bottom.

I was able to find one of the bumpers but is a little bent on one of the mounts and same issue with the rubber for the bars mentioned in the previous comment. Overall a very good looking push bumper in general.
