Styleside Bumper Brackets
Still looking for rear bumper brackets for my 66 Styleside.
I know they're not easy to find and I also know that the vendors want a lot of money for theirs.
So.....I'll throw the fishing line out there one more time to you guys....you never know who might be parting a truck.
Anyone want to sell a set to poor little ole' me?

Styleside Rear Bumper Brackets-Use with Painted (C4TZ-17906-A) or Chrome (C4TZ-17906-B) Contoured Rear Bumpers:
C4TZ-17787A .. Right Inner / C4TZ-17788-A .. Left Inner
C4TZ-17795-A .. Right Outer / C4TZ-17796-A .. Left Outer.
Applications: 1964/66 F100/250 2WD / 1966 F100 4WD / 1967/72 F100/350.
I found 3 right and 2 left outers NOS, but no one has the inners.
Caveat Emptor = Let the buyer beware.
The contoured rear bumpers used on Uni's and "wrong bed" Stylesides are not the same, neither are the brackets.

Thanks ND....as always, I appreciate your time and information.
fwiw....I have a used factory stock sport rear bumper that I plan on installing....bought it from a FTE member. I just can't get the dern thing mounted because I don't have the brackets. The ranch bumper thing that must've been dealer-installed on my truck is a one-piece thing with brackets built onto it. If anyone wants something like this, let me know.

If you are referring to the contoured rear bumpers, make sure to use that name when asking for brackets, cuz no one will know what a sport bumper is.
Bumpers with welded on brackets are aftermarket.
Ford didn't offer step bumpers until 1967. And, the flimsy brackets that bolt on to them (1967 to today!) aren't worth 2 cents...one slight tap, the bumper sags like an old sway backed nag.

Bill.....Sorry for using the word "sport"
I've heard them referred to as such over the years but since you da man and all, I will refrain from doing so in the future.
The set that I'm after looks like the photo below. And yes....they are for the CONTOURED bumper....you know, the pretty one that looks like the front bumper.
FWIW....the bumper currently on my truck looks like it was probably originally designed for an older model truck with more rounded rear fenders. I mean, it fits and all, but not perfectly. My guess is that the Ford dealer simply kept buying these nasty old locally built bumpers in spite of the fact that they didn't quite match the contours of the truck.

That is a good price.
Carpenter has them for $120 and they tend to go on eBay for over $100, usually with $20 or more for shipping.

I'm about to try adapting a contour bumper from an 80 bronco to my 64 F100. So far Ive learned the brackets I salvaged with it need exstending and I need to find a professionalish way to account for the skinnier frame width of my truck. The bumper's in great shape so Im determined to make this work for the price. Ill let you all know what I come up with!
