Is this a squarebody grille guard?
There's a guy selling this grille guard locally and says it was on his '82 a long time ago. Can anyone verify that it will fit ? I haven't seen any grille guards for '81-'87 where the lower part wraps under the bumper.

Re: Is this a squarebody grille guard?
First of all, which square body? There would be two different applications. I think 80-86 Ford sounds right. Either 73-80 or 81-91 would be straight across, like the truck.
I mounted an '84 application snow plow on a '71. It fit right up, but I had to move it forward a couple inches due to the slight "Peak" in the 67-72 body

Re: Is this a squarebody grille guard?
Was searching threads about brush guards and stumbled across this one. This looks like mine, it will fit a squarebody, a picture is on page 3 of my build thread.
