Sport Bumper Q's

Alright due to the lack of judgement on my part. I figured 73-87 sport bumpers were the same (didn't bother to do the research), I scored a flawless sport bumper off a 85' burb from the junk yard. Little did I know 73-80 sport bumper brakets would not fit the 81-87 sport bumper.

So my question to ya'll is

1. Will 81-87 sport bumper brakets bolt to the frame bolt pattern on my 77?

Re: Sport Bumper Q's

the lateral or outside brackets will bolt right up to your frame...the inners wont, those are "truck" specific

That sucks.

I bought some DJM drop spindles instead. I guess I will have an 81-87 sport bumper for sale.

Re: Sport Bumper Q's

because I like to do stuff the "right way", if there is a "right way", when I do any type of project. The reason I am selling the xxxx is because I didnt want to buy drop shocks and have the front end re-shimed, thats just me though big guy.

Re: Sport Bumper Q's

Bigzz is correct, and since this has turned in to a "For Sale" thread, it's now closed.
