That is a 78-79 bar on an early model, he has the later model bumper or he changed the grille shell. He must of saw the hype the push bar with the driving lights, switch and brackets sold for and figured his is worth the same.

I found one attached to a '94 Ranger. I have seen one welded to a bullnose bumper. Just keep an eye out in the pick-a-parts.

Like it has been said, they are far and wide and few between. On ebay for $400, Craigslist for $30...

FYI the cactus smasher on the early Bronco sites are NOT for a 78/79 Bronco or 73-79 F100,F150 ect...

Ever hear of "search tempest", Craigslist super search system? Google it and have fun locating Ford truck parts all over the place.

Find a Chassis builder in your area, anybody with a tube bender and make one. I made my own and if i felt better i could make a bunch of them but i have hard enough time just tinkering with my stuff.
