Ok I have a 96 e350 and my bumper mounting brackets are rusted pretty bad, the ones welded to the frame as well as the ones that bolt to it, to which the bumper bolts to. My question is will the frame plates off a 97-07 be the same as the ones on the 92-96.. Its gonna be hard for me to find a 92-96 e350 to grind off the plates in the junk yards and even harder to find ones without rust issues.. Some insight would be greatly appreciated.

 

From reading other posts on this forum, front bumpers/brackets from 1992 - 2007 should be interchangeable. From looking at pictures of vans in that year range, they definitely look the same with minor cosmetic variances between E150 to E350 specs., but all should bolt right up. I have found many parts on the 1992 -2007 interchange with ease, and many members "upgrade" to a newer look without much effort. Good luck on your salvage yard search !!!
