New front bumper - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need a new front bumper for my 77. Doing the later 'burban front clip. Where can I find a new bumper with the fog light holes? JBM used to have them, but I can't find them anywhere. If not that style, where do you recommend a high quality replacement?
Thank you,
Dan

No one makes a bumper with driving lights for the 81-87's. Your best bet is to use an 82 bumper that has the park light cut outs.

I found a 73-80 bumper with the holes, will this not work with the newer front end? Otherwise, who would you suggest for a good replacement either smooth or stock? I would like the chrome to last.

Not really, as they are two different shapes. Your going to need to mod your frame rails for the new style bumper as well.

I suggest you look at Craigslist, junk yard, etc and find an original bumper. Have it rechromed if necessary.
