It is not that hard at all.

Your bumper is just a few bolts. The hardest part is busting the nuts loose.

I would say remove your grille to replace that filler panel. It will be much easier. Once you got that far that filler panel is held on by 5 bolts (I think). 2 on each side & 1 in the middle.

Yeah, pretty simple, straightforward job. My '94 had 4 small bolts and 4 large required to remove the bumper. I actually replaced mine with a bumper from a turbo truck--the bumper with the holes in the middle for increased airflow.. I think it looks great.

Bumper for a 1989 is different. 92-96 F-150 is what you need.
