Rear Frame Horn and Bumper

[jrcBronco]

Can anyone tell me if the frame horn came from the factory with the inner rear bumper bolt hole having a concave/convex bulge?

See picture. Wood block held up to bottom of frame/horn for reference.

I’m going to say no.

None that I have seen . Isn't that the rear ?

This is the front.

That looks like a rear shock mount there and the bent in tabs to hold the body mount in the rear .

You guys are scary with how well you know your Broncos. I never would have noticed the shock mounts or the bent in tabs.

It is pretty rare to find an undamaged bumper tab on the end of a frame. Over 50ish years these trucks were generally used like trucks. Stuff got bumped, tugged, otherwise run hard and put away wet. Fixed with whatever was on hand.

That bottom frame horn is off something else .

Someone put a bolt or hook into it, and pulled the Bronco, stretching the hole. Front or rear; put 2 2x2" square tubes in it as a dolly/anvil, and hammer the horn back into shape.

Yup. That’s a picture of the passenger rear.

My front driver looked like a gutted trout from a PO attaching a hook in the bottom hole. I pounded it back, but still on the to-do list to repair.

It is the stock front frame horn/mount.

It appears to be stock and not patched. There is no seam on the bottom. Upper picture is a picture of the underside of the rear horn.
