front bumper brackets

So you have to have some sort of brackets to mount a stock chrome front bumper to a 4x4? What do they look like? pics?

I don't think you do. Mine just bolts to the frame horns on my 68 4x4 F100

F100 4x4's are pretty close to a 2wd. The 250 4x4's use special brackets just like the F-350 and larger 2wd trucks do. The F-250 4x4 bumper brackets are the same from 67-77.5 and are on most F-350 2wd and larger trucks too if they had the pickup style front bumper.

yes the F250 4wd and F350 2wd use these brackets. here is a ended auction for a single side. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... K:MEWAX:IT

Something I always thought about doing if a guy couldn't find them. Use the front section of a two wheel drive frame (which are easy to find) cut it off and make a set. I never tried it but why wouldn't it work?

i looked at doing that. and on the 2wd frame where that angled slot is . it is raised in that area on the one i looked at. so it made it too short tocut off and use to have enough there to make the attachment. but you could cut off more of the frame and try and bolt them on anyway.

nevermind. Dustin already explained this earlier. Thanks

Ryan I might have some I don't need. Let me look when I get home on Sunday and I will let you know.

mljjones67 - Im looking now at the picture of mine and the ebay link above, I notice the top of mine are angled in. Are those suppose to be straight across?

They will probably straighten out when the bumper bolts are tightened.

Might have had a bent bumper on there before

I will get some pics of mine up if in fact that's what i have at home. I will be back home on Sunday evening. I do think that mine look a little different though.
