The first new page on the FORDification.com website for 2022 is a page showing a bunch of side-by-side comparison pictures of the '64-72 Sport bumper brackets next to the '73-'79 Sport bumper brackets. While the bumpside brackets have been available as reproductions for a while now, the dentside-era brackets are not...they're just so incredibly rare. The pictures on this page are like getting Superman and Batman in the same photos....it's never happened before!
So...I was able to finally get my hands on a set of the dentside brackets and compared them to the OEM brackets I already had. And essentially...what I found was that the bumpside brackets CAN be used on the dentside trucks, if you're willing to drill one additional hole through the frame on each side. The forward-most hole is already there, but a new rear hole must be drilled.

LMC Truck is now selling the bumpside brackets in the dentside catalogs. The online catalog page includes a set of installation instructions, which I wrote and took the pictures for.
