1979-85 Rear Bumper Changes?

I'm looking at replacing my factory gray step bumper on my 1979 with a chrome smooth style bumper off a 1985. Will it bolt up without any mods?. LMC lists two different part numbers for their bumpers from 1973-80 and 81-87

Re: 1979-85 Rear Bumper Changes?

The bumper brackets are bumper year specific not frame year specific, the only reason they are different is because of the contour or the bumper. If you put a 85 bumper on your 79 you need the 81-87 brackets.
