Looking at LMC, a few pics, and searching on here.. I have a question.

Are blazer rear bumpers the same as pickup with the exception of the brackets?

the outer brackets are the same, its the inner ones that are different

i put this one on this truck i had a few years ago, took it right off of a 88 burb

So where is the best place to find the inner brackets? Wreckers, GM, or repo?

www.classicparts.com has them (alot of there parts have the GM stickers on them), or contact member captkaos, he sells them also

or, do what i do, just dont use the inners....dont need them unless you plan on standing on the bumper

Just an FYI, that is what commonly referred to as a factory "Sport bumper". It was available on all trucks, and standard equipment on all Blazers and Burbs.

Sports bumper's look best, close to the bed I must say, once I get my interior about finished I'm thinking about putting a sport bumper on my truck, since my roll pan drags all the time, under the licenses plate

slugish · 03-19-2009, 09:55 PM

cANT YOU GET YOUR SPORT BUMPER A LITTLE CLOSER IN TO THE BED EASIER IF YOU JUST USE THE OUTER BRACKETS . I THOUGHT i remembered smeone here had said that ?

kelsfine69 · 03-26-2009, 11:55 AM

Found a 1987 Blazer bumper for my Silvarado 1/2 ton, its still on the Blazer. What do i need to pull it?

enaberif · 03-26-2009, 12:06 PM

kelsfine69 · 03-26-2009, 12:19 PM

lots of PB blaster

its a lubricant to oil up those rusty ol' bolts so you can use good ol' "armstrong" to take em off

enaberif · 06-01-2009, 02:42 PM

K I'm going to bump this old thread because I have found some brackets but the guy says the pickup is either a 81 or a 82.

Will the outers from this truck work on mine or do I need one specific to my 80?

My impression was that all outer brackets were the same for these generation of trucks except the inners were different.

Driveway Dreams · 06-01-2009, 02:53 PM

I believe you are correct there. And to move it in closer, just re-drill the holes to move the bracket in that inch or so.

Based off those assumptions I went and picked them up and surprise they are different.

The bottom holes don't line up like they do with the next gen bumper so you can only put 2 bolts into each bracket otherwise the bumper goes an extreme angle.

I got it to work but I'll take pics later.

**N2TRUX** · 06-01-2009, 05:23 PM

Sorry no one saw your post before it was too late. Just like the bumpers, the brackets are different from 73-80 and 81-91.

Its ok

I can make them work

The only problem I have at the moment that I'll have to fix is the bottom of the bumper kind of flexes in at the bottom but can be fixed easily.

Walts_restoration · 06-01-2009, 08:42 PM

are the inner brackets the same on a stepside? Another variation to throw in the mix.
