Van/Truck parts swappable?

I have a 86 C1500 truck that I'm restoring as a daily driver.
Can I swap any van parts/components (e.g. bumpers)?

I belive the vans unibody / frame rails are farther apart, there fore the bolt holes will probably not line up.

Blazin is correct, the bumpers are different. The mounting holes are different, thus not allowing the bumpers to interchange.
