Don't think so, no.

If by cow catcher you mean, it will catch a cow, fold into the front end, and keep the cow there. Yes that is correct.

Or is that one actually built strong? Seems like the chrome ones are always some type of pot metal. The powder coated black ones tend to be a lot beefier.

just head down to the local bar on a Friday night. I'm sure you can catch plenty of cows there

you'll definitely have to modify.

Thanks....
Anyone ever done this adaptation?
I am newb.. I think I have said that...
I think that the frames are wider in the F250s..
And that inwould need to shim ti make up for the missing real estate...
Any constructive suggestions welcome

yeah, that bigger tubing is definitely thinwall. I harken those 'brush bars' as cosmetic only or for brush, but not 'bull bars'.

I would say don't use it, or sell it, and find one that fits if you really want one.
