"push bar" in junk yard

i was just wondering if this was an original ford push bar. i saw it on a bronco in the junkyard today and figured id buy it if it was original. i looked but didnt see and ford markings on it but the paint is peeling on it.

not 100% sure on this, but it looks like the ones for the freewheeling package. the lights however, would have been an aftermarket add on.

Buy it and resale it on here IMO, lots of FTE'ers are looking for one. I have one on the 77 and the 79, and a spare and just sold my 4th one.

Correct lights are aftermarket, hopefully the factory rear light tabs are on there, they are real rare. They are not available and are hard to locate, if you can get it cheap go for it.

you could be a bud and sell it to me for a reasobable profit...

77&79, that pic may just have changed what i will do to my truck. i was going to repaint it yellow, but i may just save up more cash ans paint it blue like yours, have to change the interior tho if i do that.

Remember dark colors show any bad body work, the truck had that color on it when I bought it and it came with some left over paint, here is the #'s

4-1931ID B
National Fleet Color
Balboa Blue
Code 419-31

Sorry HJ over.

impalaslayer, there are different ones for a 77 versus a 78-79 the difference is that a 78-79 will not go onto a 77 bumper with out a little persuasion.

And the bottom mount tabs are square on the 77, rounded on the 78-79, just FYI.

I got a 79 bumper and guard of a bronco and it went on to my late 77 ok though.

If you get it I would get the bumper also, IMO.

I'm toying with the idea of bending one up for fun. What diameter tubing are those things made from? Any idea on thickness?
