Front bumper mounts/braces

I have a '73 C20

A month and change ago someone ran a red light and I t boned him, he denies that he ran the light, so I'm fixing the damage myself.

The front bumper bent pretty well. Someone was kind enough to give me one that's in decent shape, OEM. Not perfect, but plenty good for the overall condition of my truck.

I pulled my bumper and found that one of the inner mounts was cracked on both sides, the other on one side. There's enough rust that it doesn't have anything to do with the crash.

One of the outer braces was bent pretty well, I went to straighten it and it cracked too. The other outer brace isn't too bad, but it isn't in great shape either.


A couple questions:

Is the C20 bumper bracketry the same as the C10? I suspect so, but figure I should ask anyway.

Where should I get replacement brackets/braces? I see LMC has a kit with all of them for $80. Junkyard is an option but given that mine weren't in great shape to begin with I suspect the same will be true there.
