Small chrome styleside bumper mtg bkts
I want to take off the step bumper from my `74 styleside short bed and put on a small stock type chrome bumper to match the front bumper. I have a pair of `66 brackets on a small bumper but the frame rails are wider on the `74, 37 1/2". I know the bumper mounting holes are different and the `66 bumper is not usable on the `74 but will the `66 brackets themselves work on the wider `74 bumper? Thanks.

I sure would like to have a pair of rear bumper brackets for my '66 Styleside. How much do you need for them?

Could the brackets be the same, but because of the differance in frame width, they are further apart? I still need a set of brackets.

I have a black '74 F-100 styleside s-bed that is my daily driver that I am doing a gradual upgrade on, (not enough bucks to restore yet). It will need some major metal work to return to cherry but with the new "hot rod" 302 she runs sweet and looks pretty sharp from 50 feet away. I have a 66 black F-100 ranger S-bed that I recently picked up. It has great sheet metal but is pretty close to a basket case with all the parts. I was going to use the small chrome stock bumper from it on the 74 until I was ready to rechrome it for the 66, but alas it will not fit. I will need it eventually so I don't want to get rid of it. I'll hit the rural boneyards of central Florida and hope to get lucky. I have seen darn few 73-79 that don't have a step bumper on them around here and the brackets won't interchange to the small bumper. Thanks for our input.
