How do I...recess in Bumpers??

I want to recess both front & rear of my bumpers closer into the truck (’79), how do I go about this?
Is there a smaller bracket kit that moves them in? Do they need to be cut and re-welded?

Thanks for any help.

You can cut and reweld and re drill or oblong some holes on the frame and brackets.
I think the core support mounts get In the way for moving it back. Just takes a little creativity
