i own a 96 f250 but have the chance to get a full size bumper off an older bullnose for pennies on the dollar. i know it will not bolt right up but anyone know what all it would take to fab up the right mounts?

 

change fenders, grill, and hood

 

I'm sure you can get it to fit with enough fabrication on the mounts. But I wouldn't bother trying to put that bumper on.

 

it;s not the mounts, the bumper is different and so are the fenders. The fenders on the 87-91 trucks are longer in the front to meet the bumper. It will bolt on just look goofy.

 

No, not even close. A bull nose bumper bolts right to the frame rails and is pretty much straight.

An OBS(92-97) has 2 sets of brackets to attach the bumper and the bumper is curved

 

No I guess I should have been more clear, it's not a stock ford bumper. It's a ranch hand look a like. I already went ahead and just bought it, for what I paid after I get done I could get twice the money out of it if worse comes to worse.
