This a bar that Hickey had in the late 1970s for the Ford trucks.It came out in 1977.Ford started useing it as a factory option on it's 1978/1979 Broncos and E/F-100/150s.You couldn't get it with the E/F-250/350s so it was either added as a dealer option or an owner got it as a Hickey aftermarket bar.The light tabs aren't orginial and have been welded on.
Notice the round head lights.1978 was the last year for them.Just like the Broncos and pickups,Ford went to the square lights in 1979.
