You can get the bumper but not the pads themselves.

Skibber, i just noticed you have a 78, the info i gave was for 73-77 (the 78-79 bumpers are different).

Sorry for any confusion, but if anyone needs the 73-77 horizontal bumper pads there you go.

They're vinyl and montana highboy is not aware that there were two different front bumpers with horizontal pads used in 1978.

1978 before serial number AG0,001 used the same bumper as 1973/77 Ranger XLT's (D3TZ-17757-A), the pads are specific to this bumper.

D3TZ-17K833-A Right & D3TZ-17K834-A Left
--------------------------------------------
Post 9: Mike has given you the info for the 1978 pads that were used from serial number AG0,001 and on 1979's.

Same bumper, same pads used on 1978/79 Bronco's.

NOTE: The vinyl mounting tabs are notorious for snapping off when the pad is hit with a rubber mallet.

Line the puppy up so all the tabs are located in the bumper slots, then gently use the palm of your hand to push the pad into the bumper.

AFAIK, no one repro's these pads, so NOS and used are the only choices. If you can find used pads without broken tabs, consider yourself fortunate. It only takes one broken tab to ruin a bumper pad.

ND, i was aware of that fact, but what i wasn't aware of was the s/n break, until Mike O listed it.

I finally broke down and ordered the HiPo master parts catalog CD today.
