Bumper Question

I have opportunity to buy a bumper off a newer truck its a nice looking chrome drop bumper. I want to know if it will work on my truck, really unsure of year but it is between 87-94.

Front bumpers usually fit

1980-1986

1987-1991

1992-1996/7

However, since you have a 92-96/7 front clip on your 1985, the 1992-1996/7 front bumper will be the best and looking fit.

I think i've seen older trucks with newer rear bumpers before.It should work,cause the rear frame isn't like the front frame horns.If it doesn't fit,you could probably still make some brackets for it.

Ah well Rear bumpers are 1973-1996, with some minor exceptions.

Certain factory bumpers wont fit on a 1973-1979 that are from the 1980's 1990's. etc...

However 1973-1979 bumpers will work for the newer models.

Just need the mounting hardware.
