FTX bumper, the impossible hunt!!

I have a 1986 FTX and I am looking for a rear bumper. Mine has a dent in it from the previous owner and I am worried that it will not straighten out like I want it too. Foretravel did not seam like they could guarantee me the correct one and they said I should check on here to see if anyone has on or if there are any ideas on where I might find one. I know this is a needle in a hay stack kind of hunt, but I have to try.

Thank you.

there used to be lots of shops that could recondition and rechrome a bumper, not sure if any still exist, but you could try google if no one has one on the forum.
