I have never been a fan of 81-82 bumpers on none 81-82 trucks but if you used that bumper and put different lights in the openings that might be cool.

Babaganoosh, you have a slight case of ADD don't you?
Please leave the '81 bumper alone. Having lights of any kind in the bumper is a super lame idea for a truck. That's why they only lasted for two years. I had a Toyota truck with the turn signals in the bumper like that and I hated it. If you have a '91 style grille, why woulld you want an '81 bumper?
Just get a regular '83 and up bumper from the junkyard if you want a chrome bumper. I would give you my old one, but then my dog wouldn't have anything to sleep under in the back yard.

Alright, sense I have somewhat of a update I can post again.
Started the day out by looking for parts, and found this wild pos..
Had no luck finding what I was after. How rare can a 14bolt be
Came home started ripping out stuff from the dash that will not be used anymore.
Took a look at the brake pedal assembly and figured I should paint this up some
Finished off the bottom half of the firewall with rattle can I had them mix up to match the colors.
From a distance shot.
That's it for today, not a lot but something.
that paint job looks oddly familiar. id pimp it

Yes I do I dream about this truck all day long and night. The turn signals would be left in the 91 grille, I would use the 82 front bumper for led high powered lights for extra viability.

I'm not sure if extra lights would make the bumper any more viable.
This^ I would put some rigid 6" LED's in the stock 81 holes with some polished stainless filler panels to hide the gaps

At 300 for one that's hard to justify them!
Its only hard to justify until you use them.
I have the dually D2's on my quad and on my sled and all i can say is holllllly **** are they bright
Very true, if I go through with this idea I will try out those I linked. They won't be used all the time but nice yo have when needed.
I have a connect for good LEDs. Let me know the size you need and I will talk to him.
How about you get that truck running and driving and then mess with the bumper...
Excuses.
I wish it wasn't a excuse, got to keep the neighbors happy.
Maybe you should get those LEDs then you can work at night 
I got the lights to work outside, I just get paranoid I'll make to much noise.
OK. I will say it. If the garage was clean, could you work on it in there?
I would have to wheel wood working equipment out to the driveway, then push it in every night so most likely it wouldn't help much.
