Trying to replace the rear bumper on 1999 F150 4WD SuperCab Styleside 6-1/2 Ft Box with 8 cylinder 4.6L.

We picked up a “new” bumper from the junkyard but ran into an issue with the bolts. The bumper we took off has the bolts at an angle. The bumper from the junkyard has bolts that are straight up and down and positioned further apart.

I’ve attached pictures. The bumper we took off is on the left. The junkyard bumper is on the right.

Is there a fix for this? A conversation bracket or different brackets that match the bumper from the junkyard? The bumpers are a match in every way otherwise. Thanks for the help.

 

From F150online.com - Supercrew and flareside share rear bumpers

Styleside standard 6.5' and 8' have a different bumper
If you are looking on CL or Junkyard digging, the Screw/Flare bumper has a thick plastic bumper pad

Maybe different payload packages between the two trucks as well. Perhaps that is the difference in the frame mounting brackets. Was the donor truck same body and bed style as yours? Are the brackets in the bumper welded on?

 

Bolt pattern isn’t the only issue. Take it back and get the correct bumper.

 

I was a afraid of that. Thanks for the quick responses.
