Arb bumper mod

[Gafjz80]

I have the opportunity to buy a arb bumper super cheap. The only thing is the bumper is for a 1988 to 1998 full size Chevy pickup. Is it worth modding to fit or will it look too weird?

Find a good fabricator and you can do what you want. But it might turn out to be cheaper (or easier) to buy one that is a direct fit.

My $0.02

You could probably get an 88 full size Chevy pickup to go with it for less than a direct fit 80 bumper.

I would start from scratch rather than try to make something from a completely different size and shape vehicle fit.

Don't do it. I thought I could mod a bumper designed for a Land a Rover. It was relatively inexpensive, but it was a Chinese ARB copy. It actually fit the frame
rails quite nicely, but the curvature was off around the ends. I'm now in the process of modding an ARB that a buddy gave me, but even that is still a lot of work.

LOL, hilarious!
