I used the metal filler off a Blazer on my 84 SWB, but did not use the inner brackets... My brother used the plastic filler off a 90's burb on his 87 SWB and other than having to drill some holes, had no problems with either.

I personally like the metal one better and believe the inner holes will line up, it's just getting the correct brackets and figuring it out.

The blazer ones fit good. The burb ones are different on the ends they are straight all the way accoss.

if you tuck the bumper in tight you will not need a filler .

The back of that truck looks clean, I plan on tucking my bumper up close as long as I can use my tailgate.

It doesn't appear to affect the tailgate. Looks sweet. What type of mod did ojoe have to do to the brackets to tuck it in that close? The placement of the gas door is awesome too. Subtle.
