I've already ditched the hideous 82 egg crate grill in favor of an 87 style (my favorite), I do have a new bumper but I won't change it until I gather together the pieces to put the park/turn lights behind the grill. Just wondering. It actually doesn't look bad on any of these trucks, but I'm still changing mine because the 82 bumper is rusty and the 87 one is new.
It's only '81 and '82 that had the parking lights in the bumper like that so no, they didn't do that in '86. The bumper looks good when it's not combined with that ugly egg-crate grille. I want to use one of those bumpers myself to mount some fog lights.
