Rear bumper

I need a new rear bumper for my 77 F-100. I'm using a Western step bumper now but it doesn't really look right even though I've massaged the mounts to get it closer to the truck. It's also a little heavier duty than I need anymore.

Any suggestions? I like to find a step bumper that's not too heavy duty and looks like what Ford would have made. Needs a place for a hitch ball.

Visit the salvage yards and spy 80s and 90s Broncos.

Or look for a frame-mounted hitch off the same and consider going with a factory contour bumper.

I don't think the factory every made a rear bumper for this truck. Ideally the bumper would be all chrome, no diamond plate but with a step.

They made these..... But I think you are right. This might be a qood quote "most came without a rear bumper at all. Or you could order it with a factory contour bumper or get the dealership to put a chrome step one on". End quote.

Disregard the 79 mustang bumper.

Thanks, that might fit the bill if I could find one. Even if I had to rechrome it.
