| Let's face it, the Ford F-150 has been one of the best selling vehicles in history. With so many of them on the road, it just stands to reason that more than a few would need bumper replacements for one reason or another. In this segment of Eastwood Garage , Rick Schmidt from National Parts Depot joins Dennis to discuss the latest in bumper replacement options for Ford F-150 trucks.
To begin, Rick told Dennis that National Parts Depot has restoration parts for Ford trucks from 1948 to the present, but that's not all! In their 320-page catalog for Ford trucks, they also stock a variety of aftermarket accessories including off-road parts. The talk then turned to bumper replacements, and Rick said that perhaps the most surprising aspect of the replacement itself is just how affordable these parts are!
To prove his point, Rick showed Dennis their entry level, Diamond Step bumper. Available for 1967-96 F-150s, this bumper is rated at 8,000 pounds towing capacity and simply bolts on using the existing holes. It is also powder coated for a great look, and the best part is that it comes in somewhere around $150! Now, if you want a bit more style in your bumper replacement, the Sure Step is the bumper for you! This replacement part comes with a rubber pad and traction step and is available in powder coat or chrome finish for approximately $240-$270. For a dressier look, the Contour bumper from NPD is also available and features black powder coating or chrome as well. Finally, the top-of-the-line bumper replacements are the Sure Step XLT and the Sure Step XLT Deluxe. The XLT features a three-inch rubber pad, and the XLT Deluxe sports a wrap-around vinyl top for a sharp look, good traction, and better protection. With these added features, these bumpers will only cost you in the neighborhood of $270! Rick also pointed out to Dennis that all the bumper replacements from NPD come with the license plate lamps. So, there you have it! Make your Ford F-150 safer and look better at the same time with a bumper replacement from National Parts Depot.
