It's a 73-80 style bumper. Not the same as yours.

Pick up a 81-82 front bumper and install your own fogs. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...ndtruck011.jpg

These are combo fog/driving lights bought off Ebay for about $30.00 I think.... Bumper was bought from a junkyard for about $20.00 . Made some "Z" brackets and wired up. Budget build!

What lights did you use in the bumper, I have the original 81 turnsignal with clear running lights but they aren't that bright.

I really like those fog lights in that bumper what size are they? LxW if you dont mind, thanks.

Re: front bumper with fog lights..
 
Bought the lights off Ebay. They are combo fogs/driving lights. Look for them there. I think you can get just fogs or just driving lights this same size. I'm at work right now, but I'll get the measurements tomorrow. Thanks for the compliments!!!!! :metal:

Re: front bumper with fog lights..
 
yeah i already did the search as soon as i saw the way they looked, i got 2500 results, thats why i was wondering the size, take you time no hurry, just wondering thanks for the pictures.

Re: front bumper with fog lights..
 
i was wondering if the brackets for a 86 front bumper different from an 81-82 bumber?

BGRAFX 12-10-2009 04:06 PM

Re: front bumper with fog lights..
 
there is no difference in the bracket. just the 81 has the light holes cutout. I'm using the original 91suburban bumper brackets with an 81bumper.

Re: front bumper with fog lights..
 
Here is the only other pic I have ATM. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...ckshots001.jpg I did this years ago...... I did a search on Ebay and didn't find anything like these. Here are the dimensions on my lights 7 1/2 inch long, 3 1/4 inch high and 3 inches deep. They fit about perfect in the hole, so try and find lights with those dimensions. I didn't see a name on them, I do remember them being just a cheapie light, so search below $60.00 on Ebay. Any more questions let me know. I could post a pic of my bracket, but it's really, really crude looking :(

That looks like them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You fine Sir! ;)

Thats a nice mod. That would even be a good set to hide behind the grill or something where you don't have/want the bumper holes, but still want the light. You could discretely mount something like that very easily.

Re: front bumper with fog lights..
 
well i already have the housings for the bumper how about if i were to put some high power bulb in them?

DBLSPRT68 12-11-2009 01:09 AM

Re: front bumper with fog lights..
 
Are you talking about the original blinker houseings? I think they would melt! They are just plastic, and weren't made to have high heat..... You'll need to find some fogs or driving lights to fit. They are made of metal and glass for heat.
