Rear Bumper Bracket question.

I have an 1983 Bronco, I want to swap an aftermarket bumper on the rear. My dilemma is that the bumper is made for a 1992 to 1996 Bronco. The body lines on the my 83 seem consistant with the 92 to 96 body style. I was wondering if there is a big difference between the bumper brackets? And if so, would a set of bumper brackets for a 92 through 96 bronco, bolt onto my 83s frame. Thanks for the help

Only way to tell is to try and mount it.

Might have to drill the frame for new mounting holes, but it should work ok, as the frames are the same width. Only problem I can forsee.

If it does, or doesn't work, be sure to tell us.
