88-9? bumper swap
« on: May 04, 2010, 10:52:00 pm »
Was looking to try different bumper looks, after the 1990 burb grille swap. Has any body tried fitting any other bumpers up ?  :-\

I've heard of brakets being available to make the newer bumpers fit, you might have to search the web some, but they're out there. Good luck

88-91 bumpers are the same as the 81-87 bumpers.
If you are wanting to put 88-99 C/K bumpers on, they are more curved and won't fit without some serious metal work.
