I am 99% done with my frame off restore of my 79!! I want to put an old school push bar on the front, and I was wondering if it had to be for a 78-79 Ford, or if it could be from a 77-79 or even a newer style truck. I found them on BroncoGraveYard.com but it specificaly says for 78-79. Can you guys help me a little?

Thanks,

I have a factory push bar from the 73-79 era if your interested

 

An aftermarket 1/2 ton push bar won't work on a 3/4 ton because of the spring hangars up front. The original bar like my Bronco has will fit fine.

 

Ranger 429
Do you know what brand your push bar is or where I can buy it?

 

That is the original bar that Ford used.

 

D8TZ-17996-B .. Push Bar / Obsolete

Internet search.

No Ford dealer has one / No obsolete parts seller with a website has one.

 

yea i might be interested if i can't find one closer.

Is is black or chrome? I assume black if it is the factory pushbar. but i am actually looking for a black one. is it for a bronco/150 or a 250/350? how much are you asking? I take it it looks like the one that ranger429 has?

Thankyou very much for the reply
