Can you put a sport bumper on a one ton?

My dually has a step bumper on it that doesn't look bad but I'd really like to put a sport rear bumper on it but I don't know if it will bolt up to my frame or if ill have to modify the brackets. Any info is appreciated.

You sure?

I'm thinking it will take the pickup brackets, just like any other 1/2 or 3/4 ton pickup.

The uniqueness of it being a dually is all forward of the rearmost part of the frame.

Standard truck brackets is all it takes for the no hassle install. Blazer/burb brackets can work w/modifying.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Same brackets as 1/2-3/4 ton
Bolts on and looks good
There are a set of brackets for 80.00 on the 73-87 parts board...
You can buy the bumper (ask for a blazer /suburban) at any bumper shop or body shop supply
