That's definitely not a 94 front bumper.More like 87-91.

Thats a trippy looking rig. Took me a minute after I read the description to figure out what was wrong with that truck. IMO, the bumper needs to sit higher 1" or so.



Except for the bumper, it looks like something ford would have done, you know, a transitional body style, like the 87-91 trucks, or the 89-91 crown vics, where essentially things were the same, except for the front end.

I kinda like it, and agree with Masterbeavis, looks like a transitional year, and the bumper up would set if off nice.

I don't like, I'm sure, it really looks 'out of place' ......sounds like a real Frankenstein too......'74 this, '79 that, '91 this....geez.......should have just left 'well enough' alone......at least pick a 78 grille & '67 Ranchero double 'stacked' headlamps.....I would've ........if you're gonna change sumthin' , make it a drastic change

it doesn't look too bad. when I first saw it I thought, "How did they do that?" the main thing is it's original.

note to the original poster. be carefully about posting threads with links to craiglist or ebay. that is counted as being a classified in the forums. the moderators are really cracking down on this. I'm just warning you.

I agree it took me a moment until I read the description and then it was like "oh yeah...DUH!"

Bumper looks strange though.

I disagree. I like it better than the 78/79 front end, or even the 76/77 (I think - whenever the round headlights were surrounded by the solid black - rather than the grill).

The bumper is just "ok" looking. I'm glad I saw those pics though, as I had been talking to a buddy about putting a later model front bumper on my truck and this shows me what it will look like.
