48 mercury bumpers vs. 48 Ford bumpers
Can anyone tell me if '48 Ford car bumpers will bolt on to a '48 Mercury.

Re: 48 mercury bumpers vs. 48 Ford bumpers
If this is a 118 inch wheelbase Merc, the ford front probably won't work as the front merc bumper is boomerang shaped. The ford rear would work, but you will need the bumper irons as well. 42-47 early rear irons are different from late 47-48 irons.Early irons go on the bodies with the long rolled rear pan. Later ones use the short pan under the deck lid.

Re: 48 mercury bumpers vs. 48 Ford bumpers
Thank you for your time and answer. The bumpers are solid and 95% straight. I'm probaby better off having them rechromed. It may end up costing a little more but I do like the idea of keeping it original. I'm going to Hershey may I'll cart the bumpers along and see if I can get a good job done for under a grand.
