My 65 frame off restoration is coming together nicely, however I hate the "wrap around" rear bumper on my bed, It wraps around and bolts to the rear fender well on each side, Can anyone tell me what year I could find a rear bumper that won't wrap around and have the same bolt/mounts?.

Here's a pic

 

The step bumper on your truck is aftermarket, not genuine Ford.

No genuine Ford bumper will use the same mounts. Most aftermarket step bumpers have the brackets welded to the bumper.

You could look for one like this:
Step bumper for full size truck , new
or buy this one if you're up for a drive...

 

Thanks bill, and 6t6. I will just have to measuure the bolt spacing/ brackets and see what I can find in Portland.

 

How about cutting the ears off of the existing bumper?

 

Might just do that too
