Bumpers needed for 57 Ford 300

[JohnnyT]

Working on restoring a 1957 Ford 300 and am needing front and rear bumpers and brackets. Does anyone have any ideas on where I could locate these? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a rear bumper.  It needs straightened and re-chromed.  I may be able to get access to the brackets for it.  Where are you located?

I'm in Charleston WV

Would like a set I didn't have to do anything to but at this point would like to find a set. Do you have any?

Check with the big swap meets. With any luck the chrome shops will have what you need there..already done. BTW, the Pate swap meet is coming up later this month, that's where I got mine, but it's in Fort Worth, so Looooong drive for you.

Had I realized the Portland (OR) swap meet was this past weekend, I may have gone just to look for bumpers. The potential savings could have paid for the trip.  Ogden Chrome quoted me $855 for the rear and $945 for the front.  I fully expect the final cost to get them back to be about $2600 and will be 3-4 months.

If you do go to the swap meets, stay away from bumper boyz. Cheap garbage.

saw a set on a ranchero at the wrecking yard and got lazy, I may go this weekend, will check again. It was clean with brackets too. I pulled the corner bumper supports only.

if you look down the list to,  need a project to work on,   it shows a set front & back,  but needs rechroming.      the post is 4 or 5  posting below yours

Thanks but the bumpers in the need a project were for the Ford 500, these are not the same as the 1957 Ford Custom 300 bumpers.
The bumpers from a 1957 Ranchero are the same as the 1957 Ford Custom 300 Bumpers. 
Thanks for all the feedback I inherited the car from my Dad and he had the bumpers and they had been rechromed but they were not on the car and got stolen before he got them back on the car.

Just so you know the rear bumper for the Ranchero and wagon are different from a sedan, the bumper guard holes are closer together for the Wgn./ Ranchero guards with the license plate lights.

Thanks I remember that now just needing the bumpers and looking at all options.
