Rear bumper brackets
I need to find a set of rear bumper brackets for a 73 F100 with a flare side bed. I've checked with about every source I can think of as far as FTE's sponsors. Does anyone have any bright ideas?

Thanks Dennis. I've been looking for the brackets for about 3 years. My truck is now in the paint shop, so I can't wait much longer. You would think something as common as a bumper bracket would be more common.

1973/77 (before serial number D75,000) Flareside rear bumper brackets.
The following part numbers came straight from the 1973/79 Ford Light Truck Parts Catalog.
2) D3TZ-17787-A .. Inner Bracket
2) D3TZ-17788-A .. Outer Bracket
FTE sponsor GREEN SALES has one of: D3TZ-17787-A ~ 800-543-4959
Dennis Carpenter has at least one of each: D3TZ-17787-A / D3TZ-17788-A. The quantity isn't given on their website, so they may have more: 800-476-9653
Make sure when you call, you ask for the parts by the Ford part numbers I listed above.

Number dummy,
Thanks a ton for the information. I had looked at both of those places but I didn't have part numbers to work with. Green sales had one 17787, and DC had one of each.
I ordered those 3 pieces. So now all I need is one more 17788.
Thanks again.

I searched Classic Parts in OK online parts locator: zero.

Has anyone notice in the bumper bracket diagram, that the truck bed has
the (steps) at the back of the bed by the bumper?
P.S. good job on the diagrams, I posted a link to the 64 gen /65 Alt wiring
diagram in the 61-66 forums in the last week or so!
