I installed one I found at a Beatty NV surplus place in 2007 and it bolted right on to my 85 K20 Suburban. I was hoping to find a CUCV front bumper/grille guard and a CUCV rear bumper but could only snag the guard. Had I known about a place in Barstow at the time which had that stuff, I would have been successful.

I would think that any 81-87 front bumper would work...

Hickey Enterprises was one of the manufacturers that made the grille guard for the 1970's bumper.

No one I know of is making them now. Word search with "Hickey" may find you a used one.

As far as I know, the Gov'ment did not buy GM, CUCV's in the 1970's. The '81 and up CUCV front bumper is like the '80's bumper, but not the exact same.

Far as I know, the only difference is the openings for the blackout lights and the shackle mounts.
