Bumper guards? National Parts Depot, Dennis Carpenter, LMC Truck.... salvage yards.

Are you talking about the chrome bumper guards with the rubber strips?
I think LMC has them also but their quality is "iffy".
BTW, welcome to FTE. Lots of good people here.
EDIT: I see the DC guards are out of stock right now.
If you can find them, the Ford partnumber is: D8TZ-17984-A for the individual right & left bumper guards / Obsolete ~ 0 available NOS

inre to the Bronco Graveyard so-called 1973/79 bumper guards alluded to in posts 5 & 6: There is NO such thing!
Be aware that 1973/77 F100/350; 1978 F100/350 & Bronco before serial number AG0,001 use different front bumpers and bumper guards.
These trucks use the same painted & chrome front bumpers and chrome bumper guards as 1964/72 F100/350's!
Hello all, I thought this post could help me figure out on that one ....
I'm currently restoring a '79 XLT and 3 days ago I manage to find in a junkyard 100 miles from my place, a set of guards for my project.
I was super happy of my finding just to realize when I got home that they do not fit my '79 bumper.
After doing a bit of reading, I found out that pre-78 (67-77) are using a different bumper with a different shape.
But still, these guards do not even match that second type and shape of bumper.
I am quite sure that they belong to a sixt generation truck but can't find out on what application. (Could they be for the rear bumper of a "StepSide" ?)
Here is are pics to show the profile ..... any help on what application they are for would be mostly appreciated........ Thanks !
Yep Restorer you got a set that fits a 73-77 (non slit above the license plate) style bumper.
Hmmm ... would you agree that they do not match the ones that LaserMike is showing ?
On my guards, the lowest part is angled instead of being square ..... now I'm even more confused ...
Or are you saying that they were two different bumpers for the 73-77 models ?
I agree that yours do not match lasermike.
Yours had the double indention, like for a 80's bumper?
No difference in a 73-77 bumper, but yes 73-77 is different than a 78/79 as far as bumper face angles.
In that attached pic L/H bumper is a 73-77 and R/H is a 78/79. Pay no mind that the trucks have a 78/79 grill.
