1979 Ford front bumper push bars

In search of the elusive push bar mounts for the front bumper. Aftermarket companies still make the inserts, but not the mounts themselves.. If you have some your willing to part with, or have info, please let me know...

Do you need them for a 78/79 style bumper or the earlier version? I realize the title says 79, but the picture is of an earlier truck. I have a nice pair off of a 77 if you need that style

I have a 79 stepside, and I am not sure exactly how different the bumpers are..

The bumpers are different enough to require different bumper guards...

Different enough that you either get 73-77 one for 78/79 ones. They are not interchangeable due to the bumper face angles being more rounded in 73-77, and squared in 78/79.
