Guys, I picked up four rear bumpers and a front. can anyone give the length of an F2/F3 rear bumper ? (or are they the same as the F1) The guy I got them from didn't know if he had F3's or F1's... I also need to know for the front bumper.....

Thks Guys

Yes stock rear bumbers are the same. Are they the ribbed ones? Show us some pictures of your score.
Those rear bumbers are hard to come by. Good job on adopting them...


Edit. Front are the same as well.

 

yes sir they are, The four rear bumpers and the front all must be 51/52.

ill post pics in the morning

 

<p>Rear bumpers were an option as I understand for a long time. I have a question though, did the 51/52 bigger trucks have a smooth front bumper or with the bumps like the pickups?</p>
Edit: also as I understand, rear bumpers only became an option in 51, and that the 48-50 usually had aftermarket rear bumpers or rear bumpers from 53-56 trucks since they were also smooth. Others here know the actual dates better.

 

Smooth front bumpers on the larger trucks . You made a major score . Near 1K in bumpers .

 

The rear bumper on my F2 is a period-style aftermarket one with a press-bent relief for a trailer ball. I have not seen too many like it. This one I found online from a parts seller in Montana.
It is 65" wide and protects the corners of the bed pretty well.

I'm interested. PM sent.

 

also found two drive shafts in the ol barn

 

Haven't seen the rear bumpers like you pictured. I have a perfectly straight front bumper on my 52 parts pickup and a fairly straight front bumper the fellow threw in the bed for the ride home.

I have a rear bumper with the ribs (not on the truck tho). The bottom bumper in Cody's pics looks correct for F-1, the others are shorter and must be from larger trucks.

BBAA-17906-A .. Rear Bumper-Painted: 1948/52 F1/F2/F3 / 1953/56 F100/350 / 1957/72 F100/350 Flareside / 1973/77 F250 4WD Flareside.

ALL rear bumpers were optional thru at least 1979, so besides this genuine rear bumper, aftermarket bumper companies offered myriad different types of step bumpers.

Ford never offered a step bumper for Flaresides until the 1980's.

 

I was thinking the shorter bumpers were from a early bronco

 

Bill, so you are saying Ford used the same rear bumper on some sort of truck from 53 to 77? Wow!

 

BBAA-17906-A = 1948/72 Flaresides & 1973/77 F250 4WD (High Boy) Flaresides.

1957/79 Stylesides used myriad different rear bumpers, which are specific to certain years and types of Styleside beds.

EDIT: 1953/60 F100 panels use a different rear bumper, either painted (1953/60) or chrome (1959/60).

 

Could the shorter ones be from a panel?
