Do i need to buy new 'brackets' for a new bumper?

[oldblue1968chevy]

Im in the process of ordering some new bumpers for my truck, do i need to buy new 'bolts/brackets etc, or can i use the ones that're already on it, im aiming to get on without a place to mount the ball...just a chrome smooth lookin bumper for the back, and a chrome one to match in the front. NO LIGHTS on either of em..but do i need to buy the brackets for em..id rather not order them, but would hate to order them wait 3 weeks and then not be able to put them on lol...thanks to anybody who can answer my ? and understand what im trying to say lol

Only if you don't have existing brackets

[oldblue1968chevy]

so the stock bumpers (back and front) already have the brackets I need, so when i order I just need to order the bumpers themeslves, no brackets, or 24 piece bolt kit. Am i correct? thanks for the replay lucky!

[oldblue1968chevy]

lucky, im lookin at your build thread and see its your highschool project, im in 10th and this truck i have, hopefully will be done before I graduate lol...yours looks alot cleaner than mine...I also see you have a honda and fox and fmf/chevy sticker on the back window, ya into ridin fourwheeler or dirtbikes? sorry for the.....?'s lol

Are you replacing the same type bumpers? Or is the rear a step bumper now?

If you are just replacing what you have on there now with the same style bumpers, you wont need need hardware/brackets, unless the existing ones are rusted and get jacked up when you remove them.

If you are replacing a rear step bumper for a smooth sport bumper, you will need different brackets.

Get new bumper to bracket bolts.The old ones will not look good with the new bumpers.

[oldblue1968chevy]

the front will be the same type (i tihnk, im just ordergin chreome to replace primer'd) the back on the other hand is a step bumper, so i will need to order brackets for it? correct?

[oldblue1968chevy]

whats the diff. between chrome 'premium' bumper and chrome bumper????!!!!???!!!??

[OARNGESI]

I think quality

[glock35ipsc]

Price.

If you are going from a step bumper to a sport bumper on the rear, you will need different brackets.

[LuckyHenriksen]

Ya just the quality of the finish. I ordered a non-premium rear sport bumper and it looks fine to me. To answer your questions, the moto stickers came in the back window from the previous owner, but I do ride quads/dirtbikes alot. Living out here in the country provides lots of places to ride, and I am only an hour and a half or so from some great dunes on the Oregon coast. My main sand toy is a piped and jetted Yamaha 450 YFZ, and I have a Honda 400 EX, Suzuki 400, A grizzly, a big V Twin Arctic Cat tank and a couple of Honda Rubicons. Thats cool that you hope to have yours done by graduation, I wish I had started mine sooner! Good Luck

okay, do i need to order a 'inner bumper' for either the front or rear, and i decided to support this board and order from christianclassics, the guy is here in TN. So far I have 2 (better be chrome) headlight bezels, back bumper, back bumper brackets (im goin from step to sport)......do I have everythig I need for the back bumper set up to look good....I dont wanna have to re order stuff..

thats cool lucky..never rode dunes on a fourwheeler lol....and boy you've gotta collection of em!

[oldblue1968chevy]

and I also need door seals, which christian classics doesnt seem to have...lmc is confusing I need ALL of the cab seals except windshield (alreday have one) but if it comes with one already then somebody can have the one that another board member gave me...............yet again, thank you!

ps, can somebody point me in the right direction to ordering cab seals, thanks
