55 F100
Just picked up a 55 F100. Seems pretty complete. The rear fenders have holes behind the rear tires. I was looking at pictures of old trucks, and came across a 55 with a bumper that curved around and the outer ends were bolted to the rear fenders. Anyone familiar with this style of bumper? It is the only one I have seen so far...Thanks

Sure. Back in the day wrap around bumpers were very common. They helped protect the back of the truck and fenders. Since back bumpers were optional, many truck buyers opted for a heavy duty aftermarket bumper over paying big bucks for the small factory bar.

Yes, that is the one I was speaking of. I guess I just never noticed them before. Thanks..
