I have been hunting for a bull bar for my 78 F150 and have had no luck. Bronco Graveyard used to sell them and when I e-mailed them about one they said they no longer sell them. Does anybody here know anyplace that sells them or maybe someone here has one that they would be willing to part with.

The link to the thread below has pictures of a 77 F150 with the same style bull bar that I am looking for.

I'm kinda interested in one too, my friends truck had one on it when he bought it...

 

Damn it JBG I was going to get one but was waiting til after paint. Maybe you can find out where JBG was getting them.

 

It's easy enough to make: Two 1/4-inch steel end plates and two or three 0.120 wall steel tubes. Make friends with someone with a torch or plasma cutter and have at it. Maybe even make a plywood template and offer a DIY ready-to-weld kit and start a business. Hmmmmmm.....

 

I have one sitting in my barn. I was going to put it on my 79 f150 but then I sold it. I am in Idaho so I don't know how expensive shipping would be or how much I would want for it. PM me if you want some pics or want to offer me something for it.

 

Ford offered push bars from the factory. I happen to know where one is, but I don't know if he wants to sell it. They're rarer than hen's teeth these days. It cost me two days of hard labor on his rig to get the one he gave me. (Thanks again, Rich! )

Here's mine....

 

I made my own for my 75 and made up a mount for the spare also. Later transferred it to my 79.

 

They occasionally pop up on ebay, this one went for $285

I've got a "bull bar" and bed mounted roll bar from a 1978 F250. They were installed as purchased new either by the dealer or factory as part of a "4x4 Special" package. Aside from needing a coat of paint, they are in good condition. In Central Illinois. PM if interested.

 

those bull bars you are talking about (i call that type brush guards) are sold by many different companies and will most likely be found more than the factory Ford bars.

heres mine
