Rear Bumper Brackets

Hi Gang,

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I did a search and couldn't find the answer.

I have a 59' F100 with a styleside bed. I can only seem to find flareside rear bumper brackets. Will they fit? If so, does it look OK? Anyone put a flareside rear bumper on their styleside bed?

If they are different, who carries the correct styleside rear bumper brackets?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Danny

I used the flairside brackets on my styleside for the stock rear bumper and they worked fine. I had to redrill the holes in the frame mounting area but the bolt spread on the inside and outside bolts to the bumper line up fine. I will try and find a pic of my bumper and post it mounted on the truck.





Here are the flairside brackets mounted on the styleside frame on my 65 4wd with the old style bed.





Here it is with the flairside brackets and the stock bumper. Granted this was not on a 57-60 but Im thinking it should work just the same.
