Bull Bar for pre '92?

Anyone make a bull bar for the '91 F-Series? I would like to add a couple lights to the front but would like to keep the stock bumper.

Thanks....

Westin used to make those, I got one off craigslist for $100 last fall, it's the type with a full bar going around the headlights, and it has spots for four driving/offroad lights in front of the grille. The largest lights you'll be able to fit in these would be 3.5"x5.5" which is really your standard AutoZone-special offroad "Baja" lights for $25 a pair. I had those in my truck for a while, but couldn't really line them up good so I replaced them with four smaller (2.5"x5") driving lights. There is also the type of bull bars where the headlights are not protected, just the grille, you can run up to four 6" round offroad lights in these bars, but they usually have mounting spots for only two, so you'll need to fab up the two extra mounts if you wanna run four lights. Oh yeah, if you install big lights (whether 4x6" squares or 6" rounds you really wanna put in some 100W bulbs in them, and run some good wiring with relays to power them. Right now my truck has 350W of regular driving lights and 400W overheads (add the rear and the ditch floods and it's over 1kW total), and I've been installing offroad lights on other people's trucks for a while now - you really should not use the wiring most offroad lights come with, it's so small it's pathetic, and most of the time there ain't even a relay included!
