Brush guard

[Robin Nowak]

Good afternoon. I’m new to to this site and do not know if I’m even posting in The right area. If not, I apologize and please direct there.

I have 1990 GMC Suburban V1500. I am looking to put a brush guard on it and I am having a hard time finding one. I can find bull bars but when it comes to full brush guards, the fit guides do not specify this model year.

My question is will a brush guard from C/K 1500’s fit on the frame where they mount? In other words are all suburbans built on the same frame as the trucks? If so, in theory, the guard should fit right?

I realize some C/K body stuff fits and that subject has been beat up to death. But I think this is a frame question.

Any help would be appreciated. I’d post pics but the thing is getting rhino lined (another topic of debate that is out there) and I won’t have it back for a few weeks.

thank you

I am 70% sure the front end of the frame is the same. I know the rear is different.

All the brush guards I have seen used the bumper bolts to mount.

Thank you for responding so quickly. I appreciate it. I was referring to the kind that mounts where the tow hooks are. Similar to these. mid the front measurements are the same then I assume it would work...maybe?

I am pretty sure the frames are different between squares and newer stuff. Could be made to work. But I don't believe it will be as easy as bolt on.

Your best bet is to find one used made for a square.

No problem. I did the same search when I had a 91 Suburban. Came up dry.

I just used an ORD bumper on the 91. Just checked they are no longer listed.

On my 88 now I have an older DIY4X bumper. Call him up, he does alot of custom work, may do a brush guard.

I appreciate the information. And quick replies and you checking to see if parts are available. You went Above and beyond. I’ll start looking at other options.

From a cucv probly or SB tow rig.

Itll take some hunting but every so often you can catch one of the wrecker push bumper/brush guards on craigslist.
