You know they say you get what you pay for
Even back in the day they were not cheap and now 40 years later you would be lucky if you could even find one.
I dont know if you can find a used one that may even fit another make truck that you might be able to make work?
Good luck and let us know how you make out.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it...

The link above didn't work.



I found a Bimco brush guard for my Bullnose truck. I just searched Craigslist and Offer Up until I found an F150 for sale in northern TX that had one. I called the owner and he was willing to sell it.

I also looked at used Ranch Hand style bumpers. A salvage yard was selling one for $400. It didn't look right on a Bullnose truck though, I think it was made for a Super Duty.

Do you already have a winch that you want a bumper to mount it on? Looking at what's available on line seems they are designed around through the bumper style winches.

If you dont have a winch and need one you could get a portable winch and add some frame hooks to attach the static end to.
