I love my k5 blazer but I hate the rear bumper...it just looks like chevy slapped it on at the last minute. I'm wondering if a regular old style chevy pick up rear bumper is a direct bolt on. Has anyone done this before?

 

what year pickup is it? iv'e got a 82 pickup bumper and it works on my 89 blazer.alot of these years interchange.

sometimes these measurements help?

well I didn't get a pickup bumper yet, I wanted to know if they would interchange before I looked for one. I've seen pickup bumpers on blazers but I didn't know how much fab work is involved in making it bolt up. If its just a simple swap and bolt then i'll do it.

 

pete,if you have time measure your frame rails where your stock bumper fits..i will measure the two different frames i have here..this would be some good info for me...if not no prob...red

 

alright I'll try to break out the tape measure some time today

 

From the inside of the left frame rail to the inside of the right frame rail I got 28"

 

pete the measurements need to be from outside to outside........

red

 

I figured...I'll have to wait on that because getting to my actual frame is a pain in the ***

 

it's all good brother...no big deal

 

Thanks for the pic with the measurement man...that will come in handy in the spring when I start the tear down for some major body work. Sadly it's almost time to get the tarp out and store her away for the winter.
