Front Bumper

Anyone know what year this is for? Trying to give it away for free. But would help to know what it fits.

That is a front bumper for a 78/79 Ford truck, F150/F250/F350 2wd/4wd. Yes it has the black plastic "bumper edging" that locks in place with plastic fingers thru holes in the bumper. Looks like it HAD the bumperettes on it at one time, or a old style cattle guard.

It should (?) work on a 73-77, but might not look perfect, because the earlier ones are more rounded, and that one is flat faced. The ends wrap around at a little different angle and you can tell by looking where the bumper gets close to the grill shell when installed. I always ID that bumper by the license plate slit. That is a great looking for being FREE.

I have never seen one with the black plastic before. Interesting.

My 1976 had the black plastic on the bumper when I purchased it new!

Mine may have been rubber I don't remember for sure.

Yes it was a OEM option/offered with some "package" where I think you also got the bumperettes. The bad thing is if they get damaged and you have to take them off, you now have slits in your bumper where they mount. Meaning the black plastic bumper edging.
