Front bumper question

Anyone know what this front bumper is off of? Not like the one on my '57 but I really like the look better than the stock piece. Was going to run without one and fill the bumper brace holes but kind of re-thinking my plan on this.

Thanks,

If you're asking about the one on the blue/primer 57, I would say that looks like the front bumper on my buddy's 66 chevy pickup.

Just to answer my own question and satisfy anyone elses curiosity.

I found out that the front bumper I was asking about is a stock 58-60 Ford front bumper, unmodified stocker!

Found a picture of one in LMC catalog in their advertisements and bought one last week.

Thanks for all those that tried to help!

Did you have to do any modifications to mount it to your '57? Did you have to make / buy new brackets? Did you have to tuck it in by cutting the frame?

Spark, looks just like the bumper on my '60. There are a couple of brackets on the inside to bolt it to the frame. Should you decide to go that route I think I have a couple of extras.

I noticed just now this is an older thread.........offer still stands.

Thanks for the offer, I would like to find a used bumper with the brackets. My concern is getting the bumper tucked in and what that takes. If I find a bumper minus brackets I might hit you up on the offer. Thanks again.
