Re: Rear bumper, will it fit

it will not just bolt up. it will take a set of custom made brackets to get it there. IMO its not worth it.

you can buy a brand new bumper from 73-87chevytrucks.com for 140 or so.

That doesn't look like a 88-98 bumper...but rather a 80's GM van bumper or something.

Either way, like it was already said...it won't fit.

Def not an 88-98 bumper. That's looks like a 73-80 GM truck bumper.

Jeff, what do you see that looks like it's for a van? Is it the brackets?

Yes, brackets mainly...but the bolt holes appear to be spaced differently as well. The 80's GM vans (and 70's vans too) used bumpers that looked like the truck bumpers...but are definately different.

Here is an older pic of my truck, notice the bolt hole locations when compared to the CL link pics

OK, now I see the difference. The bolt holes are lower on the bumper.

Lower and centered side to side differently. Look at the distance from the LP box to the first hole on both bumpers, mine is closer and the other pic shows them further apart.

Now we have a comparo next time someone comes in here and says they are the same.
