1977 f250

Do you think a Brush guard custom made for the existing brackets on a 1977 250 would work?

Did you check out the stickie about brushguards for our trucks? https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...vent-tube.html One of the guys linked in that thread made them in the 80s and they are making them off the same plans now.

Clevelanad, that bumper attached to the Dentside in your pic looks like a newer "Ranch hand" style bumper that was modified to fit an older truck. You can tell by the inside curve that it was made to fit a newer truck. I saw one of those bumpers on a Bullnose in Dallas when I was scrounging for parts one time. They wanted like $400 though!

FWIW, I ended up getting a brush guard designed for my Bullnose for $150 from a guy trying to sell his truck. He was willing to part with just the brush guard.

took 3 years searching on ebay to finally find my new in box Ralley grill guard for my '82. Remember to search for grill guard as well, as that's what some of these were sold under name wise
