Now I know this can be done very easy,but my question is on the bumper. Obviously an 83-91 is not going to mount correctly on a 74. I know this because the fool I got the truck from put an 82 bumper on there and it looked like the truck had an under bite. :eek1: Is my only option to custom make mounting brackets to mount the newer stock bumper on the older frame? I realize an aftermarket or home built bumper is an option as well.

This is not for the cherry 75 in my avatar but the 74 I got along with it. Gave the 74 to my nephew (after I robbed all the usable stuff),:D So it will be up to him if he wants to go stock. It is a rolling rust bucket! I have found an 87 front clip that is just a make offer so this is why I ask about the bumper options. What should I offer the guy
 
oh yeah one more question, how does the old hood line up on the newer fenders. I assume you still have use the older hood due to the cowl. Hard to visualize with looking at a late model.

Thanks
