haha... yeah it was like that when I bought the truck... I called the junk yard & they said they'd order me a brand new one (all 3 peices) for $250. Though, I think the top cap could be reused off mine.

When you pull it off, just check for any broken tabs. It looks fine in the
Picture though. You may even be able to reuse the lower valance.

You WILL need new brackets for the bumper, and check to make sure your frame horns aren't bent up slightly.

Even though I bought new brackets for mine, I still had to add a shim to the pass side to straighten the bumper

Id really like to just save up and have one custom built, or get a Ranch Hand or something.

Is that with both top and bottom tighten all the way?

What all did you replace when you fixed everything after the wreck?

If you did get new brackets, and it's still like that. I'd throw a couple of washers, or try a larger diameter nut that wont thread the bolt. (I recommend the washers because you can fine tune it)
