Greetings all, I'm sure this is a long shot, but I'm in search of the coveted front bumper guards for my '76. The innerwebs is proving to be not helpful. None of my local yards have them. If anyone has a complete OEM bumper with guards, I'd consider buying that as well.

Cheers, y'all

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but have you tried looking up "G" series vans up to around 1993. They have the same profile bumper, I'm just not sure about the angle of the bumper guard. This is a '79.

I've thought about that, but I'm not educated enough to know if it's compatible. If it is, eBay has a set right now although somewhat pricey.

@Chris_R,

Welcome to the forum from Louisiana. I'm sure someone will be able to help you with finding what you need, and with that little education glitch you're having to. These guys have mountains of knowledge.

The profile and angle is correct on them, but the lower mount for the bolt is slightly different. They can be used though, I have a pair on my '79.

I saw a set in the junkyard a couple weeks ago.
It was super hot out and they were not budging, so we left them there....
I kinda wanted them.

I have a pair. One of the studs were repaired, but they are a nice driver quality. Can get pics if you want.
