"Sport" bumper is the ridiculous name that LMC calls the contour bumper.

I'd be interested as well. I'd like to put a contour/sport bumper on the rear of my '73.

I have passed this along to a couple of people interested in the contour brackets. My son fabricates them out of thicker plate as the originals are thinner metal but since they are formed, it adds to their strength. So the ones he makes, are usually for our builds and or friends and are not made to be exact duplicates, they are strong or stronger than OEM but they are not visually an exact repro since hey are welded up. With that said, since we aren't trying to wrangle business away from anyone, ebay company Goodmark has repoped 67-72 4 piece contour brackets for $200 including shipping. They look like with just a redrill of hole location, to be able to work for the dents. You could probably make them work on a Bronco as well with a little finessing of a grinder and flap disc. I have no vested interest in the later, just passing info for those that dont want to pony up for OEM pricing.

He would but, if I was you I would try the ones that I posted a picture of. They are close copies to the originals. They are for the trucks not Bronco. We are really busy at the shop and the one he makes take about 3-4 hours to get right. We arent making any $ at $200 as they are built to the specific truck as customers want them tucked and raise or modified. I think you would be ahead with the ones above. If all else fail let me know and we will see if we can squeeze a set out.

Scroll up a few and you can check to see what they have. We are so busy with 5 other builds, theres is no time right now to do one offs unfortunately. Thanks for asking though. Let know if yo get those, I think they would be easy enough to modify.
