my truck came with a step bumper and i am going to change it over to just a regular chrome one. are the brackets different? if so, where can i get them? thanks a lot, ken

i dont have the books in front of me but im positive that LMC or Chevy Duty or even Cheyenne Pickup Parts has em. I had an old set around here somewhere but it would be easier right now finding a needle in a haystack with the mess i have here. check ont he parts board too i bet someone has a set somewhere

Ken:

You won't need to buy different bumper brackets when you switch from a step bumper to the regular chrome bumper. Both bumpers use the same hole locations to mount. While you have your bumper off, it will be a good time to refurbish the mounts, removing rust and coat with black paint or POR 15. I also coated the insides of the bumper with paint. They always seem to collect rust.
