2006 Silverado bumper fit a 1985?

[Preston]

I have found a bumper for sale off a 2006 Silverado will it fit my 1985 Silverado?

Not just gonna bolt up. Some fab will be required(probably a lot).

Are the frame rails that much different ( width ) ?

I cant answer that honestly. But to have a clean(stock looking) fit, thats gonna take work.

Thanks so it would take a little more than some duct tape and some bailing wire huh

After I quit beating off, and googled for you, it appears they aren't too different frame wise.

Still look like ****, unless maybe its a move or something like that. LOL


Hey, if you need duct tape, zip ties, or any bailing wire, you know us rednecks got you covered.
Redneck ingenuity.

No pics, just alot about body swapping. I was just being an ass.

No problem, hope you have a great day

You as well.

I went through everything relevant to your question. You can find a ton of squares sitting on newer frames, but they all have stock to the cab/body, or off road bumpers.

Just google square body on newer body style frame, and iterations of that.

Okay

The way the bumpers mount are 100% completely different. They are also curved more than a squarebody bumper.

I wouldn't say it can't be done, because it certainly could, but it would look very awkward. In my opinion anyway.

Thanks Andy, that’s what I was asking for

You’ll need a few pounds of bondo

Maybe I’ll run it without the bumper, don’t need all that added weight anyway, thanks for the help
