Title: 76 Bumper on an 82
Post by: krazylunatic on November 13, 2009, 08:05:30 pm

Okay guys, ive got a 82 pickup but it had a 76 front end,  trying to see if theres anyways i can just bolt a 76 bumper on or will there be fabrication involved.  I noticed the 2 years have different mounting brackets so was curious

The frame horns are different. You will need to make some sort of bracket to mount the two main holes on either side. You could section in the missing pieces from a donor frame.

You will need to add a rounded piece to the end of the 81 frame to make this work.
