While crawling under my 97 F-150 today to change the oil I noticed a bracket that the headlight housing was attached to was completely rusted away. I have searched around to find out what the bracket is called so I can find a replacement, but no luck. The bracket attaches also inside the fender as well as right under the headlight housing.

Anyone out there know the part number or ID for the bracket? With luck I will be able to upload a pic with this post. Here goes...

 

Tough one. I would print that picture and take it to the dealer.

 

That looks like part of the header panel. Im guessing yours was an early 97?

 

Has to be an early 97.

Definitely early 97 - Sep 96 to be spot on. I think I will run by the dealer and find someone older than the truck to see what they think.

 

Couldn't find what I was looking for but that is an awesome site. Thanks very much.

 

Part # 4 is the part you need put it isn't made any more. Local scrap yard is your best bet. Now is a good time to upgrade to the newer header panel. so you can run the lighting or Harley head lights.

Here is one on eBay.

Wow all these responses and no one could figure out it was the fog light moynting bracket. I can see the bumper supports.. The header panel isnt metal its fiberglass. even in the Early 97 trucks.

 

Ive never had a look at the 97-98 bracket but now that you say it I feel pretty silly.
