Has Ford changed the chrome bumpers any?


On the outside, the chrome bumpers look identical from 01-03 to 04-05, but im not sure if the clips or mounting holes have changed to accomidate for the different style valance change in 04.

My question is; will the clips of a 01-03 chrome bumper line up and work with a 04-05 style valance?


Thanks!

 

i don't believe so.....i think they are still the same......

yes the '04+ vailances look better...

 

Thats what i was thinking..

If all goes well my truck will look a WHOLE lot different..

 

it will look good......i have been really thinking about getting a chrome upper from an '03 and a lower from an '04 for my truck....and then fabbing up some brackets for it to work.........

here is what the '03 bumper looks like on a '97.....it isn't a big picture, but it is all i could find of this fella's truck...


i think it looks sweet!

 

yes they will work or they should.

you know chad wants a 2001-2003 valance.

 

that guys truck is sweet. i like it. and it even has black wheels something must be wrong with me. haha.

 

yea it is pretty sweet......he is getting ready to do a SAS on it......i am trying to buy his 8" lift coils and maybe if he has extended radius arms them too

 

i wonder how hard it would be to mount up a '03+ bumper on my truck...

 

His truck is sweet.

Im assuming he made some type of custom brackets for his to fit?

 

yea he made some kind of custom brackets......but i can't get any pictures of it cause he keeps forgetting....

 

you just need the front frame horn piece for the 01+ i think you can get it from those discount places. i found it somewhere because i bent mine. get that and mount it to the front of the frame horns.. done.
