Squarebody 81-87 Front Bumper on a 67-72
Has anyone tried a 1981 to 1987 squarebody bumper on a 1967-1972 truck? I'm curious as to whether or not the bumper in the pic below will work on my truck or not.

Without mods it wont look right. Not enough "Vee" in the bumper to match the truck.

Seems like a lot of work to get it to fit considering it's nearly flat across the front. If your truck is a 71-72, you will need to add turn signals too. Anything can be done with enough time and skill. Good luck.

Couple of trucks local to me that have done that, doesn't look quite right. Frame rails are the same width. Have no idea how the brackets were done or drilled

73-87 = flat front
67-72 = peaked front 73-87 bumper on 67-72 = no go
