Front Bumper

[77ChevySharkBite]

I'm curious to ask a question for some understanding.

My truck when I purchased it, it didn't have a bumper on the front but it was in the bed now I was told a while back it was for the 81-87 era trucks what's the difference between bumpers in all the truck series, and could a 81-87 fit on a 73-80?

They are different. Visual and mounting.

Here you can see the difference pretty detailed. If you click next page you'll see the 81-87

Well then maybe you can help me out because this is the bumper that I have it looks like it actually might be the proper year it looks like the 81-87 was more of a tight fit for it.

[Remon.]

That's a 81-87. 73-80 has more of a round shape.

At the left, the top one is 73-80, rest is 81+

Thanks Remon! Yeah I can tell the difference now.

There's no way to get it to work on a 77 huh? unless I fabricated something.

[Remon.]

Well, you are better off finding a nice correct on which will fit nicely. Cannot be that hard to find in Houston..

Yeah, well looks like I have a bumper I'm not in need of guess I can always post it on the craigslist to make some money

Some had the turn indicators on the bumper, after 83 or 83 they were moved inside the grill.... sadly about the same time they changed the dimmer switch

Check out this thread.... I was researching this the other day. I have a 79 K10 and my grandpa said he has a perfect bumper for my truck..... Only it is from an 86 C10.
