Re: Can you use F-Series bumpers on E-Series vans?

I have a step bumper you can have. You just have to pay freight.

They won't ship that front cover, but that back piece is probably going to be mine soon. My fronts are actually in pretty good shape, so I may just spray paint over the chrome with someone matte finished and have a local welder bend me some simple brush bars to go over the front.

Yep. I missed the no shipping part. Shame.

What is that back thing?

Re: Can you use F-Series bumpers on E-Series vans?

I *think* it's a back bumper with no step. But I'm not entirely sure. For $100 it's nearly worth buying and figuring out. I found a local guy here in Oregon who can build me a brush guard front bumper from steel tubing, but he seemed sort of drunk when I went and talked to him, so I'm a little skeeved out. I'm down with drinking after hours, but not when one is welding the bumper that's supposed to protect me from elk.

Re: Can you use F-Series bumpers on E-Series vans?

Joel ,
You can install an F Series Rear Step Bumper on any of the E Series by changing the Mounting Bracket , you can fabricate your own or purchase from Fey Bumpers . I worked for them years ago and virtually all of the Ford Dealerships would buy their bumpers loose and stock an assortment of year/model brackets . And many would remove the Fey Sticker and sell and charge for the factory bumper at a substantial profit margin .

Re: Can you use F-Series bumpers on E-Series vans?

I asked Aluminess this question. They said that their F series and E series bumpers are NOT interchangable. Not sure if it's the size, or the mounting locations or both.
