Bumper question. Years interchangable
I have a 1977 and have found a 79 bumper that I'd like to slap on the rig. Is this a 1 banana job or does it require drilling new holes?

AFAIR, The Pre 77 1/2 narrow frame F250's require a different bumper as far as mounting goes.

In 78 there was a slight style change.

The difference can be seen on a few parts store online sites.
