Anybody use this bumper on a square? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was thinking this bumper could look good on my 76 2wd Blazer. I think it would clean up the look while still maintaining a stock look. I'm just not sure where I'd put my license plate..

Hmm. You're right, it does look like the bumper hangs out past the side of the body more so than a truck.

Also if I'm not mistaken I read the bolt pattern width is different as well, I was looking at a front bumper off a van at the U-pull yard.

ive seen them in the yard too and wondered if they would work.. i like the looks of them

This one would look nice if it aint to long. Would have to fab up some brackets. Its from a ford econoline van. I like the "smoothie" style look.

i tried and like mentioned above the van bolt pattern is different than the trucks.
bit of a bummer because my van bumpers are mint and my trucks bumpers are not nice.

Try it and see what you come up with. That's the magic of working with metal. everything is possable. so pull it and have a floor jack ready to balance it on and see how it looks. o yea get some body work blue tape or that green masking tape and cover the rear corners of the bed so you dont accidentally scratch it.

The framerails on vans are a lot wider apart than on the trucks.
