Front bumper

[Ian30]

I want a nice new chrome front bumper for my 2wd 71 Swept. I've seen people mention that they have used a ford bumper with good results. Can anyone show me a picture and tell me what year and make truck it's from. I'm having a hard time finding measurements for these things. I'll say sorry in advance to the purists, but parts for these trucks are outrageous if you can even find them. Im doing a resto mod so it won't really matter in the end. Please help

Looks like '67-'74 were the same.
I just did a google search for the
link I've provided. They're plentiful.

Actually that bumper was used prior to 67 and all the way up through 77.

So the front bumper on Big Dads truck is a ford? The same one in the link above? It looks great and is only $140. This is excellent news. Thanks Guys
