Bill, you are a treasure trove of information. So glad to be perusing while waiting for NAPA to receive some parts today. Hope to post a (completed) project soon.

 

Found a set of bumper brackets at the local wrecking yard on a 1973 F-350. so I took the chance and they worked on my 73 F-250 4x4. The only difference i did notice is the F-350 brackets were riveted on, while my brackets were bolted. I appreciate all the help, everyone! Bill, thanks for the parts book info, you were dead on.
