Default Brush guard?

So I found this brush guard on CL for $65.00, the guy says its for a '98-'03 F150. Its about an hour and a half away, but that cheap, it be worth it. I'm gonna call in the morning to get more details on it. I tried to do some research on Google but not much luck. These things just bolt up where the tow hooks are, right? Or are there special brackets? Here it is though

The angled headlight guards don't look correct for our generation trucks

Angle looks a little off but you never k ow, worst case scenario you buy it then resell it and get the right one, and for my guard ( different style) it mounts using the tow hook bolts (retain tow hooks) and another behind the bumper

I got a Westin brush guard off of craigslist under very similar circumstances. It appears that the guard you have pictured does NOT have the mounting brackets. I ended up getting some stainless steel angle and fabbing the brackets up myself. Kind of a PITA, but since I only paid $50 for it, I was willing to put the extra time in. It was totally worth it.

This was the first I found like this. Hr had 6 people call on my way up to Indiana. I talked em down to $50 from $65.00 and he didn't have change for a $20 so I just gave him $60, spent $11 on bolts, washers, and a couple nuts. Only thing I can say is when its meant to be, its meant to be lol.
