I was looking for them, but the big question is are they for a Bronco or an F-150, two different brackets.  Those look like the Bronco brackets to me.

It seems less utilitarian.  Sporty even.  And different.  I got a good deal on a NOS one and needed a new bumper for Dad's truck, so went for it.

Re: Rear Bumper Brackets (Sport Bumper)

Gary,

how did you end up mounting that bumper? I have the same one.
I went to a fab shop and he said he could make me some, but I'm wondering if purchasing these:
https://www.dennis-carpenter.com/en/trucks/body/bumpers/c4tz-17787-set-rear-bumper-bracket-set-styles

and then having the shop modify those, would be less hassle than making new ones outright?


.. or better yet, if someone has a lead on these brackets, let me know!
Got a lot of updates/progress pics for my project thread, just waiting to post them all.
