Will It work
Hey guys, well JBG has a push bar called the cactus smasher but its for 66-77 broncos so it says. Well my question is will it work for our trucks. Because it looks just like the factory push bars and this is the one i want but there arent any in our salvage yards down here. So will it fit is my question?

I highly doubt it.
Years ago I had a '71 Bronco with a "Cactus Smasher" pushbar. They were made by (or for) Bill Strope who marketed them (He was pretty famous in Bronco Off Road Racing circles at the time).
If my memory is right the pushbars bolted to the front bumpers and the Bronco bumper profile is vastly different than an F-series.

And from what I can recall from other threads, the push bars or grille guards for the F series trucks from Jeff's will fit 78-79 (but not earlier models, due to the different bumper. You can get a 78-79 bumper and mount it on your '76, then mount that push bar I believe, though.)
