Front Air Dam on 93 F-150

I have a factory front air dam on my truck and both of the ends are hanging down. I have looked at them and cannot see a way to attach them to the bumper. Is there a fastener clip I am supposed to have or is this not a factory dam?

I think it is riveted on but I won't know till I get home from work and look at mine. In any case, whatever you want to use to attach it back to the bumper (bolt, rivet, zip-tie) is probably fine.

That is the problem, there is nothing to attach it too. That space on the bumper is empty. There is no metal.

Going from memory, on my '89 it is pop riveted to the bumper. I haven't worried too much about it since I would have to drill out the rivets if I can find one undamaged at the junkyard.

I am correct, it is riveted on. If there is no tab there to rivet it to, then perhaps some PO trimmed the bumper to fit bigger tires?

They are supposed to be riveted, but I used flange head bolts and quick nuts or U nuts. Sweet flareside.

An aftermarket bumper should have a mounting hole.

There is no metal there to attack it too. It does not have metal hence no hole.
I will take photos in the morning.
