Sport Bumper Q's
 
Alright due to the lack of judgement on my part. I figured 73-87 sport bumpers were the same (didn't bother to do the research), I scored a flawless sport bumper off a 85' burb from the junk yard. Little did I know 73-80 sport bumper brakets would not fit the 81-87 sport bumper.

So my question to ya'll is

1. Will 81-87 sport bumper brakets bolt to the frame bolt pattern on my 77?

the lateral or outside brackets will bolt right up to your frame...the inners wont, those are "truck" specific

That sucks.

I bought some DJM drop spindles instead. I guess I will have an 81-87 sport bumper for sale.

because I like to do stuff the "right way", if there is a "right way", when I do any type of project. The reason I am selling the xxxx is because I didnt want to buy drop shocks and have the front end re-shimed, thats just me though big guy.

Bigzz is correct, and since this has turned in to a "For Sale" thread, it's now closed.
