Rear Bumper Brackets needed
About a month ago '94 Bronco was rear-ended by a Dakota. I needed a new bumper, he needed a new truck. (Seriously, it trashed everything from the cab-forward, I got a twisted bumper and a small little dent on the tailgate.) 
I found a new bumper at a wrecking yard, pulled from an F-250, and the brackets it came with line up just fine - the problem is that the bumper sticks out way too far, and just looks stupid. I've been all over looking for a set of mounting brackets for a Bronco, but have found no luck so far. All I can find are mounts for after-market bumpers, and none of the local yards seem to have any Broncos with the bumpers still attached.
Anybody have any ideas where I could find a set of these brackets?

I'm in the same boat!! I have a mint bumper off an F150 I found at a wrecking yard. Need to put it on my Bronco. LMC has the brackets....but they are very pricey. Hope someone out there knows where a cheaper alternative is.

I checked out the Graveyard, but the only brackets I could find there said that they were for aftermarket bumpers only. Would those work with an OEM as well?
(I love the Graveyard - between my wife's employee discount with the local Ford dealers and these guys, they're the only reason I still have my Bronco)
