    I have a set off of a '93 that you can buy for $40 shipped. I'm pretty sure that they are the same, and they are not bent at all.

    Don't need air tools at a junkyard to get a bumper off...just a decent 1/2" ratchet and a can of Blaster.

    Yepperssssss.....

    I soaked the bumper bolts down with Blaster and then used a breaker bar with a deep socket to get mine started.

    Ohhh......you'll also need some eye protection and a pair of gloves to cover those knuckles !!!!

    Re: Rear Bumper Brackets

    Yeah, I actually got my LMC truck catalog over the weekend. They have the kit with bolts for $39.95.. Beats the heck out of gettting bit by chiggers, ticks rattlers for a couple of brackets.. I sure I can get em' at a junkyard, but $39.95, I'll save the headache for that amount...
