Front bumper removal questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I recently bought a smooth front bumper and had it painted and was going to put it on soon. I got to checking and the top bolts for the bumper appear to require the removal of the grille and headlight shell in order to get to them. It is a 95 Chevy but has the GMC grille. I know there are quite a few bolts holding the air dam on and the bottom bolts are simple enough just curious about the top bolts.

Thanks

you could just remove the bumper by removing the brackets connecting it to the frame. then transfer the brackets to your new bumper

Dohhhh I feel like an idiot..........I did not look at it closely enough and was thinking it mounted directly to the frame as the older ones did.

Thanks
