Bumper identification

[Strick]

Could use some help identifying this bumper. Overall length is 62 inches. If I need to provide any more specifics, let me know. Thanks Fordbarn members!

It looks to be OEM as it has the raised ridges on the back. What are the center to center measurements of the bolt holes and their distances from the end of the bumper?

Is your over all length measurement measured straight across from tip to tip OR measured with a cloth tape placed along the contour of the bumper?

 

[Strick]

The 2 middle bumper holes are 29 inches apart. The outside bumper holes are about 5 inches from the end and about 16 1/2 inches from the middle bumper holes.

The overall measurement is from tip to tip as close as I could read with a metal tape measure.

19Fordy - any additional help after I posted the info you requested? Thanks!

No. I thought it might be a 1940 car bumper but it's too long and different curvature.

Perhaps a truck????

My guess is 40 Merc rear.

1937 Coupe rear.

1937 Coupe rear.

I agree. It looks to be 1937.

Thanks guys for the input. I’ll see if I can track down a local guy with a 37 Ford and see

It might be a 38…the ends curve down on 38, and are flipped over (curving up) on 37

1937 Coupe only it is longer than sedans. 1938 will not clear the fenders.
