Bumpers for 1973 K5 Blazer

[JW-Tex]

Looking at used non-stock bumpers for 1973 K5, assume that bumpers from any Blazer 73-87 will fit. Also assume that bumpers from c10's , k10's and suburban’s from 73-87 will also fit. If anyone has input based on their experience, I would appreciate it.


I am a newbie...Thanks

The body style change in 1981 did go with a change in the bumper styling and mounting back the 1980 and earlier styles. Front frame horns differ because of this so the bumper brackets are different.

As far as aftermarket bumpers is there a style you are shooting for? Does it need to be able to mount a winch? That will narrow it down.

yes front bumper would want a winch mount. I have seen a warn bumper that looks good.

So 73-80 bumpers is what I should be looking at...thank you.

Good vintage warn bumpers are really hard to find. One of our vendors here is coming out with a new bumper along the lines of the warn design. Look up Engineered Vintage. Good stuff.
