34" in front 37.5" in back. 4x4's have differences than the 2wd, but anything on a 4x4 F150 will work for the '78/79 Bronco.

bumper bolt centers are about 31.75" on my Bronco, which that bumper came from an F150. Can't go by frame widths (measured from outside to outside)

OK, I think I follow ya now. You're talking rear bumper.

My Bronco has L brackets that hold the bumper on at 40" and about 58" The F150 ('78 4x4) has straight brackets that come out from the outside of the frame at 37.5", but are hidden on the inside of the bumper.
