Anybody got a line on a 300 emblem? I'd be proud to slap 300 emblems on my 4.9 fenders. The only engine ID emblems that I've seen are the 5.0 Mustangs and T-Birds.

i believe that bumper was only original equipment for eddie baurer editions and turbo diesel f250s with intercooler. a guy couple house down from me had a 95 eb edition with 4.9 5spd with that bumper. truck was beat up and scratches all over and he still sold it for 4800!!!

actually thats only true for the early fords, in 95,96 ford started using the diesel bumpers (ones with holes in them) on the f150s to get rid of stock. my 96 f150 xlt has it, same with the 7.5l f250.

makes sense. ford loves to use up parts on last year models.

I love my plain solid bumper without the trim or trim holes. After I coated it with bedliner and gloss black paint, I think it looks tough! Lol I think the plain solid bumper looked more like a wrecking ball mounted to the front of the truck.

i favor the plain chrome xl bumpers. reminds me of where trucks came from. i hate all the plastic crap nowadays. when i take chrome polish and a buffer to my bumper and cruise through town i love seeing the sun reflect off my bumper onto everything.
