Good call
I had a guy drive to my house recently in a crap chev truck spending about $75 gas and gave me a low ball price on my already cheap priced welder then said well you have my #. I then said it would cost you more to drive back then to give me full price now???!!! I guess his time was worth nothing..

That is great! I got some turn signal lights from him also & all went great. I saw one of these on a bronco that looked like it was on it's way to get scrapped! to bad I was driving my semi the other way & working or I would have stopped the guy & bought the whole thing for parts!.
Here is an istalled pic for those of you interested.

It should mount through the same holes the bumper mounts to the frame. I would think it should be fairly stable. It's not like it was made for ramming things, I think it should give some good looking front end protection and a place to mount a couple lights.
Good score from a stellar member and great guy.

That's a nice detail piece and saves old Ford steel from getting scrapped and shipped to Korea. I keep my eyes out for potential finds like those.
I recently saved a set of cherry west coast mirrors (brackets and everything) for $30 cuz I couldn't bare seeing them hacked/smashed by a yard picker. 'Might have to buy a new project to mount them on.. a shortbed bumpside 4x4 to bookend my 73!

i had a pushbar on my 78 it mounted to the side of the frame and was flat bar on the sides and tube across in the middle. i dont think it was factory the one i had, yours looks allot nicer fit.

I believe Ford's original intentions of this push bar were to simply add some style and a spot to mount the driving lights. It is the same as the interior GT bar (roll bar) on a Bronco, it is not designed to protect in a roll over accident.
