I have a '96 Sport and I want to put on a front bumper off of a '99+ model. Does anyone know if this will bolt right up. Also does anyone know of a source to get one or is anyone looking to get rid of their's. Thanks, Bryan
 






Go to a Ford dealership and measure the length between the frame rails. If they match Your good to go. One problem I can think of is the mounting holes. If there is a variance just fabricate a bracet out of the same thickness steel. The reason being is that the brackets are designed so that they can absorb some of the impact forces. When I was rear ended I was paid $450 to fix it, all it required was new brackets because they absorbed most of the forces.
