Bumper & hitch question

Hello, will a receiver hitch & bumper off a 1977 F150 fit on a 1977 F250 4X4?

Depends.. there was a frame split in 77 according to this table found at Fordification:

"
YEAR /APPLICATION /REAR FRAMERAIL SPACING
'67-'72 /2WD/4WD /narrow (34") 1
'73-'79 /2WD /wide (38")
'73-'79 /F100 4WD /wide (38")
'73-'77½ /F250 4WD /narrow(34")
'77½-'79 /F250 4WD /wide (38")

'73-'79 /F350 2WD /Super Camper Special narrow(34")

1: I'm not entirely sure how far back that goes, as 34" wide was an SAE standard for all trucks back then.
"

Whip out a measuring tape (duh) or ask the seller for the measurment between the inner bumper bolts.

I don't believe so. I think the frame widths are different from 150 to 250 as well as the 4 wheel drive might make a difference.

Measure the frame width and the hitch width. I removed a class V from a mid 90s F350 and installed it on a '75 F250.
