2007 Front Bumper??

I'm swapping the entire front facia (Header panel, grille, headlights and bumper from '07 onto my L99 F350.
My body guy is helping me do this. I ordered OEM/FORD bumper and both inner and outer brackets.
The outer ones seem a little short to bolt up to my frame.
I know that back several years ago now that folks wern't using the outer ones-not sure why.
I want to do this right from the start.
Would anyone have a picture or 2 of the outer brackets installed on your '05-'07 F250/350?
I'd sure appreciate it!!! Thanks!

Those remarks are a great way to get no response . .
If in the past threads you saw that others weren't using the outside base take that as your answer . Don't be rude .

Sorry, Not being rude. Just stating my perception.
Just cannot believe that not 1 person could take a few minutes to take a couple of pictures for me.

Jeeeez guy relax.

You perceived no one wanted to help, how through zero replies?

Hate to break it to you but people have lives and not sitting at their computer at your beckon call.

Thanks Jeff!! Really appreciate the help and pictures. Is there some sort of spacer between the bracket and the truck frame itself? I have looked and looked at the FORD diagrams to see what I'm missing but cannot see a spacer.....

Thanks again Jeff!! It looks like there is a secondary bracket on yours. It looks like it may be welded to the frame too. THIS is the piece I'm lacking and guessing that if it is indeed welded to the frame it wouldn't be included in the bumper brackets & hardware I'm looking at through Ford.

Whatever the kind of Z shaped thing is that holds the J nut that the bolt goes into is what I'm missing/don't have-I can't quite see how this Z shaped piece is attached.
The bumper, all brackets and even the painted upper pad are all OEM/Ford and all fit well as opposed to the crap fit the aftermarket setup that I tried before.

Is the bottom of that Z shaped bracket (in your picture) not welded to the frame? (Thats what it looks like to me...)

My frame has been oil sprayed, and now covered in a layer of dirt as well, but I’ll see if I can get some pics of it from different angles.

That's the lower "Bull Bar" to prevent animals (people) from getting dragged under in a pedestrian strike. How effective it is can be questionable.

Bolt in.
