82 bumper question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys!

I'm thinking about buying an 81 / 82 bumper for my truck, but replace the signal lights in them with a set of driving / fog lights. My truck is great for seeing straight ahead, but leaves much to be desired as far as seeing into the ditch is concerned, and being in the middle of a forest, there are a lot of bambi, so its important to be able to see in there. Has anyone ever converted one of these bumpers for this purpose? Also, what would it take to install it on an older style frame? I heard you had to notch the rails at the front or something.
