Looking for a new front bumper

As the title suggests, I'm on my second front bumper for my 1987 F-250 which I purchased new. They both have rusted out from the inside on the sharp bend. There is a bracket in there and crap gets stuck between the bracket and the bumper. I wondered if anyone has used Car Parts Wholesale which are sold through Ebay.

Here is the bumper. Both sides are about the same. The pickup other wise looks pretty good. In fact it's in the paint shop right now getting some of the light blue touched up.

Huh. I haven’t seen one rust there before. No rust on the ‘87 bumper but my ‘89 is rusting at the front mounting bolts. I’d try car-part.com to see if you could find a decent used OEM bumper locally. That is what I’m thinking of doing instead of buying a new one.

To answer your question : No. I have not. I’d bet that most of the parts houses get the same new bumpers from one or two suppliers.

The replacement bumpers out there available for these trucks are mostly built out of stuff that's not a hell of alot better than Tin Foil. I'd just go find a good used one.
