Re: 81-87 bumper on 74?

To read the original thread and discussion on this topic go here- LINK


THERE IS NO NEED TO CUT FRAMES< NEVER!!!! Do I need to say that again? NEVER!!!!!!!

To install a 81-91 bumper on a 73-80 frame, all you have to do is make one VERY SIMPLE (2 min hacksaw) cut on the 81-91 center bumper bracket and the bumper is a bolt on! Yes BOLT ON!

All you have to do is cut the center bracket along the crease on a diagonal. On the end brace the center hole (in between the the 2 welded on nuts that are usually used) is the very same hole that the 73-80 end brace uses.

I really don't how to explain this so I take a photo in the morning to show were the cut is made.

But to say this a third time, THERE IS NO NEED TO CUT FRAMES< NEVER!!!!

All right here is the pictures... The first shows a stock bumper bracket, the second is where you need to make the cut (RED LINE). Throw the smaller piece away and bolt-on the larger piece to your truck. Then bolt the 81-91 bumper on.

I have done a dozen or so and there is nothing else to do, nothing!

PS... Sorry to those of you that have cut and wacked your frames, the conversion is just this simple.
