Rear Bumper Interchange
I have heard before that you can bolt a newer (1980-1996) F-series bed onto a dentside frame.
This has me wondering now, could i take the bumper from say, a 1996 and directly bolt it to my 1979 or do they mount entirely different?
Reason I'm wondering is I started welding together a custom back bumper for my '79 f150. I got an offer of $2,000 for the truck I think I'm going to take.
My buddy has a couple of '90 f150s and he'd be interested in buying my bumper if I continue to build it, but I'm not certain if I'll have to radically change my set of plans.
Does anyone have any experience in interchanging the bumpers?

I bought a Master Guard Road Warrior bumper for $5.00 once. It has been on both my 88 F150 and my 77 1/2 F250, with the same mounting brackets.
I don't remember if the brackets were slotted or drilled for the bolts, but that is minor.
