front bumper question

Is the front bumper of a 70 F100 the same as a bumper for a 70 F350?

I found one in a JY with excellent chrome, better than mine.

However the right side of the bumper is pulled out from the body, like someone tried to pull the truck with the bumper. Can it be straightened without a crease showing?

Bent is bent. Look for another IMO.

I would say they would be interchangeable between the f100 and the f350. should be a four bolt bumper all the same. How much is the JY one your looking at? LMC has them for around $190 kinda pricey.... and that's just the standard one with no fog light holes

'Found a straight (amazing!) painted bumper off a '67 F250 to match the patina and made a fog light bumper using the lights off a late 90s Pontiac Grand Prix. ...total cost was $55.

Should be I would think. I added some heavy braces to my bumper. I don't think it will ever bend unless I hit something REALLY solid, REALLY hard.

A good bumper shop will be able to make that bumper look like new again, but you're better off finding a good one.

Mine was kinked backward on the driver side until I introduced it to my very large sledge hammer. Hammer started hittin on bumper, pretty soon bumper was straight.... You can't tell it was ever creased unless you know exactly where to look.
