Older bumper and newer pickup

So I found a great deal on a winch bumper on Craigslist. Problem is, seller says it was on a 71 Ford Highboy.
What exactly would I have to do to this thing to get it mounted on my 91?

Wasn't really sure, actually, figured on the mounts but thought maybe a difference in width over all or something like that.

The earlier bumper is straight across the front. The newer bumpers wraps around the side meeting the wheel well.
My friend put his winch bumper off of his 85 onto his 87, and that little bit on the sides being missing looks like crap to me. Just my opinion.
