Check behind the rear tire on the first picture. Is that the bracket as well? I'm assuming two different trucks because of the license plates.
Also, are those scratches on the fender in the second picture?
Oh, Very cool pictures.

Not the fender braces, look to the right of that, hugging the tire. I think maybe it's the frame rail. It's got two big holes. Right above the exhaust pipe.

maybe since it has license plates (and a sticker in front window). this truck was already sold and being used prior to pictures.
AND an owner installed his own aftermarket bumper, but the ford city slickers took if off for the photo shoot.....

I've seen that truck before. Here's a front shot of it;
I don't think they are factory Ford pictures. It seems to me that they might be from a book about an old out of print book about Ford trucks but I can't remember.

I found some more...
Bobby, the pictures look too high of quality to be scans of an old ad, but I'd swear they come from Ford archives. I'm pretty sure I got them off Alder Jewell's site (Flickriver: Photoset 'Ford Trucks' by aldenjewell) but I don't have time to go thru all those again!
Harrier, Now I see the bracket in the horse picture! It does seem to be there.

Yeah, Virginia requires a sticker on the windshield like that for verification of inspection and county taxes.

NM had a real basic inspection program before I moved here, but having brakes that work, brake lights, two headlights, wipers, and tires with actual tread on them was deemed discrimination against poor folks, so they dropped it. So now you see total POS's all over, metal-on-metal brakes, people driving for months on temporary spares, windshields that someone went thru....

I would venture to guess all those pictures are stills from some Ford promotional film. They all look like part of a story. Ford did have their own movie production department. If it is, it would be really cool to see.
