1979 F-100 rear bumper replacement

Asked by kygent Oct 10, 2010 at 03:31 PM about the 1979 Ford F-100

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I am attempting to replace an aftermarket rear step bumper with an original equipment chrome bumper.  In attempting to order I am asked the distance between the center mount holes ( 361/2or 40" ).  As I do not have a bumper; I cannot say for sure.  The distance between the frame rails is 38".  Anyone with any insight on this situation?  This is a short styleside bed.  if someone has such a vehicle, I would greatly appreciate their input.  Thanks. Kygent.
