I would just try and find a steel front bumper first and go from there. But I've been really impressed with my 74 Monte bumper this year

yep, just find a steel one and go from there....... 74 monte would be too much for the ford frame imo

Go for a 79 ford the first year for the box vics. They are stronger than the later years

o ok but like comet_cyclone was saying for our shows they have to be stock bumpers or at least appear stock

I think they appear pretty stock. I'll take a picture of the backing of an 80s and a 79 bumper and I'll post it for you
