Rear bumper
Ok. I have 1 last part to purchase. Rear bumper. Its the contoured bumper. Lmc offers 2. One says 37.5 mount holes the other says 40. Where are they measuring from. The bumper bolts on top of the bumper? Or what?

IMO I'd measured where it matters....at the rear of the frame rails where you are going to bolt the bumper on. Do you have the special...well pretty much impossible to find and purchase (due to NOT being reproduced) mount brackets for said contour bumper?

No such thing as 40" width between the inner frame rails for any 1973/79 F100/350 & 1978/79 Bronco.

MOUNT HOLES STYLESIDE & BRONCO 73 -791978/79 Bronco uses a completely different bumper than 1966/77.
1978/79 Bronco uses the same contour rear bumper as 1973/79 F100/350's with 37 1/2" width rear frame rails:
D3TZ-17906-A Chrome & D3TZ-17906-B Painted .. Contour Rear Bumpers
But 1978/79 Bronco's use different bumper brackets than F100/350, because Bronco's have a rear stone deflector that the pickups don't have.
