1981 Front bumper bracket
Is there a way to adjust the front bumper? My bumper is about 1 1/2" to the right, and is about 1/4" from touching the left side fender. I saw the bolts that are holding a plate or something under the radiator and are attached to the frame. Would those be used to adjust the bumper side to side?

The horns are part of/are the frame. So no it is not adjustable, unless you strap it down to a frame machine.
So either the bumper is wacky , the front clip is not adjusted correctly or the frame is bent.
Take your pick.

Both trucks do have A/C, are 4.9L with 4 speed manual O.D. and are Custom ['84] and XL ['86] models.

I did see the pictures on Gary's site, thanks for posting them here also.
I asked if AC or not because trying to figure out when it might of been used.
Also how does it attach, bumper or bottom of radaitor support?
Last question what is it made of?
Thanks

I was wrong about it being made out of hard rubber... I believe it is plastic.
It is made in an "L" shape with the longer leg of the "L" being 1 1/8" wide. This is the side which has the 6 slotted holes in it and mounts to the bottom of the bumper. The leg of the "L" which extends downward is 1" wide. The overall length is 50 1/8" and the outer ends have a radius for 1".
The Ford part number is: E1TZ10001A06A

Between the measurements and who has them I should be able to come up with something when I get that far.
Thank you again,
