Sorry I haven't replied to any of you other posts, so to make up for it here are a few of my trucks pics with grill guards.
The one on the silver truck is a factory Ford design, found it with the black bumper for $30.00 on a 79 Bronco. Hard to find, but I like the look, Jeff's Bronco Graveyard has some nice one's too.
The one on ol red came with the truck, mounted to the frame via the front leaf springs bolts and all four bumper mount bolts. VERY STRUDY!!
And the chebby "tow outa the mud" hooks work great, could be very easily copied? Good HD tow hooks and D-ring tow points are important.
And consider a receiver point in the front, I am putting on on red for a winch that can be used front or rear.
thanks for the pics. i like the one you got from the bronco. and the one on the red truck its got that mean rugged look to it like i like. and don't worry bout what i said about nobody answering any of my other posts. i was just frustrated cus i've got the money for some things right now and i could use some answers on things, but thanks for all the pictures
Its all cool, ck Jeff's Bronco Graveyard they have some nice bolt on chrome or black for the right price. I am looking into getting the chrome one for my signature truck.
I am in Afghanistan right now, so I do not have all my Ford aftermarket accessory mags handy, but the net is just a click away.

Look at the FTE sponsors sights, good luck.
yea thats probably what im going to have to do. i was hoping to find one like i saw on this truck in town the other day, it was like those on bronco graveyard but it had a bar bent over on each side covering the head lights but i think it will be alright with the ones at bronco graveyard. best of luck and thanks for the help

About the same as 77&79F250's, I just mounted my hooks on the inside (they work great as steps to work on the motor too )
Sorry it's not a closer shot, this is just the most recent pic I have.
no thats fine, those are kinda pictures i was wanting to se what it looked like on the truck. but do the bumper bolt go straight through the brackets and mount up like normal or do you have to change anyhthing
IMO its better to get one that bolts to the frame sides and bumper, if you get one that uses the front spring bolts you might have to use a little longer bolts.
If you do, at least use grade 8 so they don't sheer off in a fender bender. Remember if your truck is a 1/2 ton it will not have front leaf spring mount bolts.
