rear sport bumper for an 82 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

joe1982 · 11-11-2009, 03:24 AM

hey fellas, quiick ? here. i recently tookoff my old rear step bumper that you see in this picture here. i threww on a roll pan that i had in my kitchen, but just hated it!!! i am about to just order a rear sport bumper from lmc BUT, i was wondering if you could use the same brackets, or if you needed different ones.

**lolife99** · 11-11-2009, 03:29 AM

You need different ones.
Blazer and suburban outer brackets will work. But the inner brackets are specific to the trucks. I had to get mine at my local GM dealer.

i know, like i said, i hated the step bumper but the roll pam just made me mad looking at it

JohnC · 11-11-2009, 01:38 PM

Yeah I felt the same way on mine. I didn't want a step, but didn't want a roll pan either. So the sport was a good fit for me.

WOW you lucked out, everything around here has step bumpers on them..Ive been looking for brackets for 3 months....

Driveway Dreams · 11-11-2009, 08:32 PM

Did you take a pic of it with the roll pan on it? I am curious what you didn't like about it.

joe1982 · 11-12-2009, 12:28 AM

well fellas, i just ordered my rear bumper! i spent all morning getting the rear bumper and mounts off of the truck at the junk yard, also helped myself to the radiator support. snapped a few before and after pics of the mounts, i only got to one side today, they were pretty rusted.

joe1982 · 11-12-2009, 12:33 AM

sorry bro, i did not take any pics. it was the liscense plate that annoyed me. it did not flow with the rollpan. and i just couldnt convince myself that i liked how it looked. oh well, it was free.

Driveway Dreams · 11-12-2009, 12:42 AM

Gotcha. I never have cared for the ones with the plate inset. Like you said, they just don't flow well.

BTW: I saw you are a Chargers fan. I went to University of Northern Colorado with Vincent Jackson...He rocks!

LMC has the brackets for $119, but who knows how they will fit. Im curious to see the quality of the bumper you ordered, as i want to do the same to my 81.

tonyscustomrides · 11-22-2009, 01:50 PM

That looks really good, did all the bolt holes line up ok? Does the bumper have the license plate light with it or not? I cant wait to get the sport bumper on my truck

JohnC · 11-22-2009, 05:40 PM
