Bumper Fitment - 70's era bumper on 90 K5

Probably a stupid question - but I want to ditch the factory bumpers on my wife's K5 Jimmy I'm putting together as they are the type with the plastic rub guard on them. Looking at 70's era chrome bumpers with no rub strips. Are the mounting brackets the same from 73-91 or are there different brackets over the years?

Thanks

I was able to get a 80s bumper on my 76 K5. Not what you were asking but I did have to file a bumper bracket hole on each side to get the bolt to line up.

Not sure how to post pics anymore, my Photobucket being lame. Any pointers on that would be great 😋

yup. That's what I'll do. I just don't like the strips. Nice K5 by the way
