Front Bumper Interchangeability - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anybody know if front bumpers and mounting brackets from '72 and earlier vintage trucks will fit on a '78? I've got a cool old winch bumper that I'm considering putting on a '78.

Thanks!

I doubt they will bolt on.Is it a warn winch bumper ?

I'm not sure if it's a Warn brand bumper, but it does have a Warn winch on it.

That is a warn bumper,The bumper can work but you gotta make your own brackets or make the earlier ones work.

Ah,ok, so it's not a direct bolt-on.

Thanks!
