good luck finding one of those in good shape or finding one period. One was on my 86 originally(It was factory) and it was almost perfect but was rear-ended and it was destroyed. looked for a while to find one and never could find one so went with an aftermarket. but best of luck to you

Haha yea finding that out! I did find the other bumper that goes straight across with the hitch as a separate part. I guess that will fit on my 85 alright.
I was thinking to have some metal shop try to duplicate the original step bumper. It should cost about the same as after market.
What did you go with for your rig aftermarket?

the bumper i have on there is a 3 inch double tube smitty built bumper. these are the only two pics i have but it has a hitch built in on this one. sometimes you can get a good deal on these for the back but the ones for the front are hard to find. there as hard to find just about as the step bumper lol

ea the straight line bumper would fit on it but youd have to have a hitch separate, and thats what was gonna go on mine before but couldnt find a hitch! but i like the bumper i have on now cause i think its tougher and matches my side steps.

The bumper does look good no doubt.
Well it took me a year plus to find a stock radio but I did
Hopefully I will get lucky eventually.

I see a lot of those bumpers on trucks around my town both pickups and 4runners. Someone told me they were an option at one time but not sure if that is true.

Jeff thank you so much for such a fine rear bumper. It is the last piece I needed to finish my restore and I am very happy I was able to find this.
Also, your trustworthy is amazing and again I thank you. To be able to send a person you have only talked to on the phone for 5 minutes that much money and have him/her be so honest is a refreshing breath of air in a world so full of jerks!
God Bless and let me know if I can help you in anyway at any time!
