Blazer/burban rear bumper

[1tonchevy]

i know i need one of the truck brackets but what one is it inner or outer?

i got the outer ones from an 84 85 gmc like mine but i think i got the wrong ones oh well the 5 bucks i payed for a near mint dark gray dash pad and 6.2 Diesel hood ornimate made up for it

[bharrison1]

you will need the inner brackets

[3r!c84]

You don't need the inner. They are like 50$ each new. Just bolt it in with the outers and put the inner bolts in the bumper for show.

I did this . It is plenty strong

[harnalien]

Hmm, only the outers? I may have to take a trip to the junkyard to see what I can find!

I love the way the tucked rear bumper looks, but if you get hit in the back by even a bicycle, it's gonna drive the bumper into the rear end of the bedsides, especially if you use only outer or inner brackets alone.

Basically whatever happens, if anything taps that bumper, its time for paint.

lol if my truck was going to get hit. (by a truck) the tail gate would be the first thing theyd hit.

[flamingbig10]

I'm using the inner burb brackets bolted to flat stock

[jitteryguy]

I only have the outer brackets on mine as well, most any thing that hits it from rear will probably be higher than my bumper any way so ,,,,,,,,,,,
no differance than have'n a roll pan like I have on my '88 S10 .
also all three of my trucks need paint any way so hopefully they decent insurance .

[1tonchevy]

other than a good clean up lol and some paint the truck i like it's look

[hitcher]

im assuming its the same for my 88 1 ton ? i was told that brackets from a blazer would fit but a suburban wont , is that right ? im needing all the brackets to fit a bumper like 3r!c84's truck

[3r!c84]

Blazer and burb ones both fit. Only the outer brackets from them fit. You will need to find a truck with a sport bumper to get the inners. ( good luck with that) or order new inners. Or like me only run the outer brackets.
