1986F150Six Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 If [?] these are the correct ones for our trucks [1980 - 1986], the price is quite good. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-1981-FORD-TRUCK-BUMPER-GUARDS/233172855308?hash=item364a2f6a0c:g:2sUAAOSwUPlckVlY Compare to used: https://www.ebay.com/itm/80-86-Ford-truck-Bronco-Bumper-Guard-Chrome-Pair-OEM-81-82-83-84-85-F150-F250/254157793197?epid=1728286730&hash=item3b2cfc27ad:g:eO0AAOSwl7pcXLgb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I'm not sure they are the right ones. Notice how the NOS ones, on the right, have a different profile to the used ones, on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Does E1TB help? Perhaps the NOS ones are for vans? Yes, sorta. By the process of elimination an E1TB bumperette isn't for our trucks. I say that because our bumper page (Exterior/Bumpers) says that all F/U series bumperettes were E0TZ's, and I've not seen a part have an E0 part number and an E1 ID number. But, did I miss the E1 # somewhere in the adverts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 One of the photos shows E1TB 7/25/83 on the back side. Well spotted, as the Brits would say. I missed that. Speaking of Brits, one that has said he is going to join has messaged me a couple of times on FB to apologize for not having done as "life got in the way". I've tried to explain that I FULLY understand how life can get in the way of trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure these are correct, they match the bumper contours perfectly, and definitely aren't for a bump or dentside. Gary, the two pictures you posted seem to show the same guards. The picture on the right is just at a bad angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom edge of the bumperette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
