Lots of decent places to buy em. Ideally ford dealership but they WILL rape you....LMC has decent prices and there are lots of body panel places around. I get most of my stuff from a place called midwest fender. I don't think they stretch down into your neck of the woods but I'm sure there are others like them.

Not always true. Infact for some parts, the ford dealer can be cheaper than aftermarket suppliers. Why you should always check with Ford first in my opinion.

Another great place for Factory bumpers for our trucks is the wrecking yards.

Good luck.

Forgive me for saying so but I am yet to have a need for a body panel that ford was cheapest on. I'm not saying it can't happen, but it's def not the norm.

Body panels are usually more expencive yes, but the build of the part is significantly better. So when you buy aftermarket body parts most of the time you are sacrificing quality for $$$ savings.

Wrecking yards are good places for quality ford panels too. However the supplies at the wrecking yards are becoming more and more limited as time passes obviously.

Also beware of aftermarket places selling genuine ford parts and marking up the ford dealer price by 20%. Cheaper by 20% to skip the middle man and go to the dealer.


Just some heads up.

From me of course!

Seriously though. Junk yards are full of them around here. Do you want a step bumper, or the sport bumper?

Broncos use the same bumper as well, and you can usually find a nice chrome step bumper on one. Only thing is, the brackets are different. They are too short.
