71 F250 Bumper

I am looking for a front bumper for a 71 F250. Does anyone have one for sale that is great condition? Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.


Thank you!

Have you looked at the junk yard for one? They are reproduced and you can buy them aftermarket. You can try Craigslist and the classified section on here. There's plenty of people on here that sell parts so someone will be able to help you out along your journey.

'67-'77 are identical. '64-'66 will fit but has slightly different contour. '78-'79 also fits but is shaped differently.

Nice bumpers for these rigs are hard to find in the JY. I have never come across a dent-free, chrome one but did find a nice painted one with no dents at all. It was amazing because it was on a very tired 67 F250.

All of them usually have the telltale crease over the bumper bolt where it was bent and then pulled back into position.

Good luck on your hunt.

Thank you!
Since you bought one of Robert's Awesome grilles I don't think you're gonna want a "good enough" bumper. I suggest you let your fingers do the walkin' through the local Yellow Pages and find a bumper rechroming shop. They will remove the old chrome, repair, and straighten your old one and put some new shiny chrome on it. If you can't find one call a local Body Shop and ask them who they use.

I didn't know you got a grille from the grille wizard haha. Your best bet is finding a re chrome shop like Jeff said. Going for anything less then a perfect finish on the bumper will make it stand out having such a great grille then see the not so great bumper.

Thanks for the heads up fellas! I think that will be my best bet is to get it re-chromed especially next to that grille. It is awesome! Wow!! Super stoked to get this on and take it for a spin!! Thanks for all your help!!
