    Recently purchased a project truck. Its a 1979 F-250 4x4 standard cab. Prevoiouse owner installed a 2 inch body lift. Today's project was to install an new grill and front bumper. Got the grill done (what a pain). Went to mount the front bumper and it don't fit because of the body lift. Is there a bracket kit out there? Or do I need to do some cutting and welding?

    I've seen a few that did it with 73-79 F-series, and 78-79 Bronco. What they did was cut off the horns, weld plates on the frame, and the weld the horns in the right location on the plates. There's no kit that I know of.
