    That dose look good, if I keep my 74 I think I will tuck the bumpers like yours instead of going small. I will watch for a answer on the rear as well.

    RADMAV tucked his rear bumper (he did more than just a tuck) but maybe he will chime in with some advice!

    I think the bumper tuck looks good. Would like to do that to my comet.

    Front tuck looks great a huge improvement.For the rear can you toss the bumper shocks and fabricate some shorter mounts?

    Also like the 77 f100 have a couple of 79's myself.

    Get the bumper shocks too short and the bumper will be covering the quarter marker light. One inch is about all you got if that much.
