Tom, Any bumper from 57-72 Ford pickup 1/2 or 3/4 ton should bolt up. You will need the bumper brackets also.
Things must be slow in your part of the country to get a ticket for that.

John,
It's to stop the idiot tourists in their econoboxes from driving under rear of us locals because they're looking out the side window at "interesting scenery" & not where they are going, while driving straight ahead, that caused that law to be put in effect.
There's also a Bumper Height Law too. . . .
We're not called the "Bikini State" for nuthin'. . . . . . . doncha know?

cracker, The frame was widened in 73. I understand that with spacers you can mount one. Should one do that no future towing from the bumper at all.
This sounds like a CYA and to pass muster I would bolt up about anything.
We wouldn't want FBp running over you, while looking at them bikinis.
