I am trying to locate a set of front bumper brackets for my 38 truck. Midwest Early Ford has discontinued them. What, if any, other years would be compatible along with bumpers?
 
Front bumper brackets: 1938 standard & deluxe & pickup, 1939 standard & pickup.
Bumpers same interchange, same front and rear. Rear brackets (pickup only) are the same 1938-41.

Further information... I received a pm questioning my information. I was partially correct. the January 1939 parts book shows the SAME bumper, however it shows different front BRACKETS. My experience in selling parts has been that the two are close enough to work.

OOPS. More research which only makes for more questions. The rear bumper for the pickup in the Jan 1939 Book shows a part number of 74-17757 (74 should be a V8-60 number), the car show 81-17757. Nowhere in my 1937 chassis book could I find a 74- bumper, all were 78-. In the 1941 edition of the chassis parts it shows the 74-17757 for the back of the car and back of 1938-39 pickups. Go figure.
