Not trying to drag this out, But FWIW, i called BOTP and they said there's is not
the Original it's just a bracket they fashioned to mount the stock bumper!it's a one piece
style bracket for each side.

Again Thanks,
Allen

I'd fab up my own brackets before I paid $120 for those.

Left (upper) 1973/79 'car' parts catalog pic: Between the rear bumper and the body of 1978/79 Bronco's is a stone shield (17808 in pic), so the Bronco brackets are longer, not shorter.

Trucks with 33 1/2" rear frame rails use different rear bumpers/brackets than trucks with 37 1/2" rear frame rails (behind the cab).

If you get a bumper/brackets from a High Boy (1973/77 F250 4WD) or 1973/79 F350's on the 140" wheelbase, these trucks have 33 1/2" rear frame rails, parts won't fit other trucks with 37 1/2" rear frame rails.

Right (pic from '73/79 truck catalog): Styleside (body style 99) applications for rear bumpers.

D3TZ-17906-A & D3TZ-17906-B bumpers also installed on 1978/79 Bronco's, but the Bronco brackets won't work on F100/350's.

C4TZ-17906-A & C4TZ-17906-B bumpers also installed on: 1964/66 F100/250 2WD - 1966 F100 4WD - 1967/72 F100/350, but...the brackets are not the same as 1973/79.
