80-86 bumper on 87-91
I found an original warn bumper for an 80-86. Will it bolt on to my 87-91 front end? If not, what has to be done?

I think you'll be pretty close… you may have to drill a few holes.

I found an old push bumper off of an old Dodge that I want to install on my '88… going to have to fire up the smoke wrench and welder for that one.

Yes, it will BOLT right on since they use the same frame horns.

The problem is there will be no "fillers" for the ends since the 80-86 trucks have the fenders that come behind the bumper. the 87+ trucks do not
