64 -66 are bolted on differently that's why folks are having issues with trying to mount them on a 61-63 slick. lol
No seriously The Truck & Car shop in Orange CA sells reproduction bumpers for 156 bucks'. I've purchase from NPD & LMC; both are repop from overseas; with a 5 year warranty. Havn't bought one from them yet; but others parts from them are good.

1961/63 F100/350's have a 3 bolt hole tri-angular shaped pattern per side to mount the bumper. 1964/66 F100/350's do not, as they have a 2 bolt hole pattern per side to mount the bumper.

2WD 4WD makes no difference. Look at the pic in post #4 gangstakr posted...that's a 1961/63 front bumper only.

You either have a 1961/63, or a previous owner used 1961/63 only bumper brackets to mount the 1961/63 bumper to a 1964/66.

1964/66 bumper brackets are different than 1961/63's, because the number of bolt holes/pattern is different.
