I'm pretty sure you guys have the wrong roll bar. I have a FORD stamped roll bar and im pretty sure its a smittybuilt. Most stock pics on google also have the smittybuilt.

My brush bar appears to be the OEM one but has a Smittybilt sticker on it.
I can't find a picture of a Smittybilt bed bar.

I think this one is for a 1993 and newer, but the stock photos are the same design.

I don't like the way it sits up that high over the cab.

Here it is on a 1988 STX

Interesting that there is so much variance in the bed bars.

Note that one has a horizontal brace between the vertical upright and the angled brace from the wheel well. And that it is a lighter color, I have only ever seen black.





I just want a set of tube bumpers with the brush guard... undecided if I track down a nice bed if I want to drill holes in it for another light bar.

That white/blue truck I think may be my favorite combo. That brace you see I think it may be an accessory of some sort.

I think I can almost see "Ford Motorsport" on that brace.
