contour bumper brackets
#2
'found an early 90s Bronco which used a contour bumper and grabbed the brackets (and bumper). Had to extend 'em cuz they were a hair too short to get two bolts into the frame... modified on the left, original on the right:
'had to modify the outer brackets in a similar fashion:
IMPORTANT.. Ford went metric in the early 80s so bring an 18mm socket with ya!

Thanks Silver! good snaps ... i have both bronco and step brackets , and i think i will just shorten the step bracket to fit with the bronco bracket and then use the bronco out brackets.
I have owned 3 new gmc's in the last 5 yrs and have put a lift on each one ... each damn bolt and nut you have to remove is metric AND a different size - NONE are the same . you end up with every metric wrench and socket you have on the shop floor....

But yes - Ford went Metric in '85. That is just part of the reason I have a full metric tool set to compliment my SAE set. And a big part of the reason I LOVE wrenching on the dents and being able to take the entire truck apart with 2 wrenches & a screwdriver pretty much...
