Broken rear number brackets

The 2 brackets (maybe 4?) that hold the bumper on cost $100 and $900 respectively . Anyone know a source that isn't insane?

I CAN'T CHANGE THE TITLE, WHICH SHOULD BE BUMPER, NOT NUMBER...STUPID *** WEB SITE DOESN'T ALLOW IT.

What is that plate off the bumper? Start looking for a trailer hitch. You may get lucky at your local Pick and pull and find all the parts you need as well a good trailer hitch.

It's just a big plate my dad added to the bumper to get better turning radius. There's nothing wrong with the hitch, it's just a ball. It turns better than any ball mounted in a tiny bumper cavity.

The ball has nothing to do with anything. I need brackets because they are bent/broken and the bumper is 45 degrees from horizontal. They are designed with "crush" areas in them and because they are "safety" equipment, they are ridiculously expensive. Also, I have no idea what the smartass "torque" response is about. The brackets are damaged from a TREE falling on the bumper. I need brackets, not stupid *** comments from people who don't seems to know what they are talking about.

I guess you don't understand torque then.

Ok, why don't you explain how torque and ***** and whatever else you have on your mind have to do with a tree falling on the bumper and breaking the brackets that hold it to the truck?

Ok slow down. Take a beep breath. One we have no clue what may or may not had happen to your bumper.. All we can comment is that you posted as info. Two a ball mounted to your bumper is not a trailer hitch.....I can tell you there have been many bumpers damaged for that installation. Three, Get the brackets and a trailer hitch that mount the the frame of the truck.

The brackets that hold a ford bumper to the truck cost $1000.
What happened to my bumper is irrelevant.
My breathing has nothing to do with ***** or hitches or whatever else you are thinking of.
I asked for the parts that come with the truck.
I'm not going to tolerate stupidity or insolence when I simply asked for where to get a part.
Really? You're going to go with I need to calm down? I asked a simple question and got asinine responses.

Yeah, you didn't give an answer in your first reply, you gave a stupid *** reply that had nothing to do with what I asked.
Why are you still posting jackass replies? How does your stupid *** reply help me find a new bumper bracket?
