Re: new bumper.
asking questions etc is fine, but please refrain from turning it into a buy or sell post without being in the classifieds

Re: new bumper.
i was just offering someone my experience of not being able to find used parts and hoping they could use the information. i'm not trying to sell or give away anything but some good usable information.

Your best bet is a junkyard. The LMCtrucks catalogs are a good reference for parts interchange, they will help you figure out what fits what. I just did a quick check and the part number for the brackets on the trucks and burbs is the same, which makes sense. Also check Craigslist for people parting out vehicles. You might want to also consider becoming a subscribing member of the site, that way you can list your own Want To Buy and For Sale threads.

Re: new bumper.
Or, if you have any fab experience, you could make your own.. I've done it a couple of times for the front and rear.
