Front bumpers for '97
Hey guys/girls, Have a '97 F-150 4x4 but not very fond of the front bumper. I was wondering what the best alternative is. I've heard that an Expedition bumper looks good, but i dont know what year. Any suggestions or help would be great. Thanks.

I'd suggest picking up a free LMC catalog, if nothing else for the diagrams. They will show the differences between the '97-'98 and the '99-'03 front ends. The Expy's should have the same bumper as the F150's. I personally think the '97 and '98 bumpers looked better but the '99 grilles look better with the little drop at the bottom. You could have a '99+ bumper with a '97 grille but it would look a little weird IMO, but you could not have a '99+ grille with a'97 bumper.
I thought I had some pictures of my old stock front end but none that are visible. I am sure plenty of people will post that can show both front ends.
