front bumper with fog lights.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Silence86 · 12-07-2009, 09:00 PM

is anyone running with a front bumper with the cut outs for fog lights. im debating about getting one but it says it will fit 73-80. mines an 86 and i dont know if theres any difference in the mounting. post some pics if you have one

**N2TRUX** · 12-07-2009, 09:42 PM

It's a 73-80 style bumper. Not the same as yours.

Silence86 · 12-07-2009, 09:58 PM

i know its not the same, but could you make it work?

DBLSPRT68 · 12-07-2009, 10:31 PM

Pick up a 81-82 front bumper and install your own fogs.

These are combo fog/driving lights bought off Ebay for about $30.00 I think.... Bumper was bought from a junkyard for about $20.00 . Made some "Z" brackets and wired up. Budget build!

Silence86 · 12-07-2009, 10:34 PM

wow i didnt even think of that, that looks pretty damn good. thanks for the help

**N2TRUX** · 12-07-2009, 10:58 PM

Much better idea.

Silence86 · 12-07-2009, 11:03 PM

agreed, just wish i could find a good bumper like that for the price he did

BIG10 · 12-07-2009, 11:24 PM

That looks great. Nice job.

What lights did you use in the bumper, I have the original 81 turnsignal with clear running lights but they aren't that bright.

staggerd86c-10 · 12-08-2009, 09:22 PM

I really like those fog lights in that bumper what size are they? LxW if you dont mind, thanks.

DBLSPRT68 · 12-08-2009, 09:27 PM

Bought the lights off Ebay. They are combo fogs/driving lights. Look for them there. I think you can get just fogs or just driving lights this same size. I'm at work right now, but I'll get the measurements tomorrow. Thanks for the compliments!!!!!

Silence86 · 12-08-2009, 09:29 PM

ebay here i come

staggerd86c-10 · 12-08-2009, 09:32 PM

yeah i already did the search as soon as i saw the way they looked, i got 2500 results, thats why i was wondering the size, take you time no hurry, just wondering thanks for the pictures.

staggerd86c-10 · 12-10-2009, 03:04 PM

i was wondering if the brackets for a 86 front bumper different from an 81-82 bumber?

*BGRAFX* · 12-10-2009, 04:06 PM

there is no difference in the bracket. just the 81 has the light holes cutout. I'm using the original 91suburban bumper brackets with an 81bumper.

DBLSPRT68 · 12-10-2009, 10:27 PM

Here is the only other pic I have ATM.

I did this years ago...... I did a search on Ebay and didn't find anything like these. Here are the dimensions on my lights 7 1/2 inch long, 3 1/4 inch high and 3 inches deep. They fit about perfect in the hole, so try and find lights with those dimensions. I didn't see a name on them, I do remember them being just a cheapie light, so search below $60.00 on Ebay. Any more questions let me know. I could post a pic of my bracket, but it's really, really crude looking

staggerd86c-10 · 12-10-2009, 10:31 PM

thanks for the info. i will look for the lights thanks again for the info.

That looks like them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You fine Sir!

Driveway Dreams · 12-11-2009, 12:45 AM

Thats a nice mod. That would even be a good set to hide behind the grill or something where you don't have/want the bumper holes, but still want the light. You could discretely mount something like that very easily.

staggerd86c-10 · 12-11-2009, 12:58 AM

well i already have the housings for the bumper how about if i were to put some high power bulb in them?

DBLSPRT68 · 12-11-2009, 01:09 AM

Are you talking about the original blinker houseings? I think they would melt! They are just plastic, and weren't made to have high heat..... You'll need to find some fogs or driving lights to fit. They are made of metal and glass for heat.
