Couldn't you just use the 74 style bumper instead of cutting the end of frame off for the 84 style bumper and bracket?

he could but the 73-80 bumpers look silly on a 81-87, but you can fit a 81-87 bumper on 73-80 frame without doing any cutting just a little hammer adjustment, enlarging the bolt holes and some spacers, that how my truck was when I got it so it stayed
