Front Bumper Mounting?

Post by 72 F-350 »

I have a 1972 F-350 Chassis Cab (10,000# GVW, 360, 4-speed) that didn't have a front bumper when I bought it. I was looking a the pictures trucks being restored, and noted that the frames were made so that the bumper bolts right up to it. My truck has a straight frame that is not curved for the bumper. Was my frame modified or were trucks like mine made differently?

The bigger trucks had bolt-on front bumper brackets, like this:

I'm not entirely sure how they figured out who got this, but I'm sure someone else here can fill in the details.

That's exactly what my truck is missing. Does anyone have any they would want to sell?
