Here is some info I posted a long time ago.
This is a factory correct push bar for the 78-79 Bronco's/F-series:
There was an early style bar like this that fit the 77 style bumper.
Mounts for a 77 model:
Mounts for the 78-79 bumper:
You can see the difference in the way the top mount plate is bent. The problem comes when trying to mount the bottom bolts. 77 style on a 78-79 truck:

That one from JBG (even if they had them in stock) which last time I checked they were out a long time ago, will be to narrow for your 79.
And yes those push bars are like hens teeth and unicorns, but they are out there.
I am in the process of getting a fab shop to possibly bend some up for me. Looks like another reason to get with it.
