Is a suburban rear bumper the same as a stepside?

I have a 70 suburban with a home made steel bumper , It actually looks good. I really want a rollpan but it looks like you have to make one yourself. I was looking at some stepside pics and the rear bumper almost looks the same. I am lucky because I do not need a chrome one. Anyone know where to find one or will a stepside one fit?

It uses the same (sport bumper) as a fleetside. The step side's are narrower. The inner bumper bolts for the sport bumper mount right to the frame horns on the burb - there are only outside brackets. You can buy paintable sport bumpers from many vendors including those that support this board.
