Genuine Ford Styleside (body style 99) step bumpers introduced in 1969, chrome & painted versions were available. The brackets were separate parts.

But dealers continued to offer aftermarket step bumpers for both Flareside & Styleside. Aftermarket step bumper brackets were usually welded to the bumper.

And btw: Back then, most people used full size station wagons or IHC Travel/Carry-All's or Chevy Suburban's to tow travel trailers.
