Hi guys can anyone help me find a good used rear styleside bumper for a 1970 f100 please. I need the brackets as well. Many thanks. I am in Australian but can ship out of Los Angeles.
Welcome to "The Forum". Hang on, I'm sure one of the CA members can help. Can you post any pictures of your truck, with any history of how it wound up down under?

As far as I understand getting Used parts in Australia is difficult. Tough Customs laws there I believe. You might call Eagle Auto Parts for help.
Dandenong store...3-9706-9580.
Sydney store.........2-9771-5566.
Brisbane store........7-3442-8000.
And, be aware that there were TWO different 1973/79 Styleside rear bumpers.
The correct bumper was used on 1973/77 F250 4WD's and 1973/79 F350 Regular Cabs on the 140" wheelbase that have 33 1/2" width between the inner frame rails behind the cab.
I was trying to find a good used item rather than a new one, the Australian dollar and shipping costs make a new one very expensive.
Have you experienced getting Used parts through Australian Customs?
I called a local Junk Yard here that specializes in older stuff. He said everybody is looking for that bumper. I wish you luck Buddy.
The only chance of finding a used contour rear bumper here in LA LA Land, is to hit all the pick-a-part yards. Who can do that? Not I.
Several years ago, the San Berdo yard had a 1973/75 F250 4WD Styleside with a MASSIVE step type front bumper that had a winch on it, and a perfect painted contour rear bumper.
Sadly, it's been scrapped.
I called a pal who owns the oldest truck dismantlers yard in CA .. He just laughed when I asked him for this bumper.
