Wanted custom frt license plate bracket
What do you mean by custom frt license plate bracket? I may Have a stock one off a of Custom 300.
Thats what I meant I need a frt license plate bracket for a Custom .
I'll look for it tomorrow. I had two of them. I powder coated one for my 57 and put the other in storage.
Did you have any luck ?
Sorry, I have not found it yet. I know it is here and I will take the time to keep looking. I moved about a year ago and so have lots of packed boxes to look through.
Found it. See attached picture. email me at wighty@sbcglobal.net. if you want to buy it.
The bumper on my Custom has the holes farther apart . I have a Fairlane bumper that has this same bracket on it that u have a picture of .
Interesting. This License Bracket fits my 57 Custom 300 perfectly. I thought all 57 Ford front bumpers were the same.
Here is the bolt span on my bumper .
That is very different than both of my Custom 300 bumpers. Mine are 3/8" diameter holes that are 1 1/2" apart. Maybe there is no bracket for your bumper and the license plate is supposed to be mounted directly into those slotted holes.
There were two different bumpers. I don't know when or why it changed, but most of mine have the small holes with bracket, but I have an extra bumper that just has the wide pattern??????????? Bob
Both my old and newly chromed bumper just have the 2 holes at 1 1/2 spacing.

Replacement bumpers have the wide holes. Factory ones have the bracket.

I found this on the web ..
There were to different front bumbers , depending on the assembly plants, not sure why, but thats how Ford did many things.
Agreed, my Ranchero has the widely spaced holes and it has the original bumper. It did have a bracket but I can't find it. Still have the CA plate but the bracket was eaten by the same fairies that get the nuts and blots you drop while in the engine compartment.......
