The Step-Child....

So I bought a 79 yesterday (the trip that put my 76 on the wrecker) for $300. No title, but its clear. It has a 302 with a C4. The body is straight but not in good shape. The interior is completely toast since the windows have been down for 20 years and its sitting in a field. BUTT.... it has a Dealer stamped bumper that is straight as an arrow!!!!!

I bought this truck for the bumper!!!

I have the motor and trans sold; already.... I don't need any body panels but I figured I would stash it out in the back pasture, just in-case...

Thoughts?? (No pics, yet)

You bought the truck just to get an aftermarket step bumper with a dealers name stamped on it?

Genuine Ford step bumper pictured on the 1976 F100 in post #3, is from a 1980's truck.
