Okay i know it wont be a direct fit, but i have a bumper off of a brick nose in fantastic shape... i know it will look wacky on the 92-96 but i was thinking about using it as a starting point for a custom bumper/grille guard build and have it painted or powder coated.

looking to see if anybody has a picture of a brick nose front bumper on a 92-96?

i have a 92-96 i could use, but its rusted through in a few spots and would take a lot more work to get presentable.

Bumpers are easy to take on and off, Give it a try.

My bumper is designed for a 91 brick nose. I then did a front end clip swap with a 95 F150. I was going to redo the bumper until I bolted it up and realized it fit pretty well except for the corners.

talking about a stock style or some aftermarket style bumper?

brick nose is a flat front end. the aero nose is rounded. i tried to put a 92-96 bumper on a friends 87 bronco and it was terrible looking. would not recommend. the bumper mounts differently also. a popular swap tho is going to a Superduty bumper

yeah i have seen the super duty bumpers and they do look good. yes i was refering to a stock bumper from a bricknose, on a 92-96...

wacky i know but i just want to see if anyone has a picture of it so i can decide if i even want to try it. i met a welder friend the other day and he seemed interested in doing some custom work, so i thought maybe using the stock bricknose bumper that i have on a shelf as a starting point and modifying/adding to it to have a rugged bumper and grille guard. all in the name of using what i have instead of buying something new. and of course having it painted or powder coated.

I would... but my radiator supports are gone so it’s kinda holding up the front end of my truck until I can get it fixed lol...

Anyone got new info on this? Just accidentally picked up a stock bricknose instead of the obs but I’m actually liking it more, I threw it on my obs for a test fit and the only issue is that the frame is “too long” for me to fit the bumper on without gaps. Anyone make brackets?
