1986 Bronco bumper on a 1976 truck?

I'm selling one of my broncos right now, and it has an 80-86 bronco rear contour bumper. I'm looking at buying a 76 F150. If I decide to keep the contour bumper, will it fit on the 76 F150? I've seen some posts about these bumpers/brackets before, and I know someone modified bronco ones to fit their truck, but I can't remember who did it and if they used 80-86 parts. Anybody know?

I believe they are the same bumper with different brackets. If the rear frame width is the same on both vehicles you should be able to make it work.

Here's an old thread that may help:

I for one never knew 80-86 Bronco's even had the contour bumper option?

1980/86 F100/350 & Bronco use a different contour rear bumper than 1973/79 F100/150 2WD/4WD; 1973/79 F250 2WD; 1978/79 F250 4WD & 1978/79 Bronco, all of which have 37 1/2" rear frame rails.

The 1980/86 brackets are also different. The Bronco brackets are different than F100/350, as Bronco has a large stone shield between the body and the bumper.
