Anyone have any rear bumper brackets for an 85 with the stock style bumper. I need the two in the center, i checked the yards around here and they told me its to old! BS!

If you are talking about the 81-87 "sport bumper",... good luck finding the inners. The outers are the same as the blazer and suburban bumpers,... but the inners are truck specific. I finally broke down and paid the price that my local GM dealer wanted for new ones. I believe they were about $35 each.

I just finished installing my sport bumper from a burb (thanks RicksTrucks!!!)
I just used the 2 outer brackets and honestly it seems plenty stout like that, I'm planning on hiding a receiver hitch behind the license plate.....the aftermarket bumper I pulled off only used 2 brackets and it was a dropped hitch bumper
