Is there any mods that have to be made to make this work. I know i'll have to extend the signal light wires but will the brackets work. Thanks

I believe the shape of the bumper stayed the same throughout the 81-87 era.

the difference in those bumpers is the turn signals other than that it will bolt up fine.. some people ise the holes to mount fog lights or driving lights

Thanks, i'm planing on removing the turn signals from behind the grill and putting them in the bumper. I just think its a nice look.

They bolt right up even the harness for those lights has enough slack to reach the bumper. I put an 82 truck bumper on an 88 burb with a buddy because it was free and not dented. I think it looks good too, reminds me of the 67-72 bumpers a little.
