Blazer/Suburban rear bumper brackets

Are 73-80 Blazer/Sub rear sport bumper brackets compatible with Fleetside truck frames?

Checking for possible fit on my '80

Re: Blazer/Suburban rear bumper brackets

The outside brackets will work, the inside brackets will not. You can get by with just running the two outside brackets, just don't use a bumper pull hitch on it...

Re: Blazer/Suburban rear bumper brackets

pretty sure the outer ones are but the inner ones are different. I've got a burb bumper on mine and I dont have middle brackets, Stays on fine tho.

Re: Blazer/Suburban rear bumper brackets

Blazer and suburban frames have capped ends that these bumpers bolt right up to for the inside brackets. the outside brackets are much more common since they are on all pickups and Blazers and burbs with sport bumpers. i run them on my pickup without the inside brackets.
