I have never seen another truck with this bumper. It almost looks like a van bumper.

Well from the pic you can see my predicament. The brackets look nothing like you can buy. There is a bolt through the top and bottom of bracket holding bumper onto bracket. A long brace the runs parallel to bumper with exhaust "cutout".

I would like to rehang the bumper at least even though it is rusty.

Help me out, need to find some.

I have seen that bumper before, but I can't tell you the brand. Maybe you can use something like FEY/Westin's universal bracket kit and fab up plates for the bumper side of it locally. I added an old Reunel bumper to my truck and had a local fab shop make some new plate brackets since it was originally on an mid 90's Ford.

Man, that looks like Ohio rust.

Are the brackets welded to the bumper? It's hard to tell with all the scale.

No, two bumper bolts on top, two on bottom.

Yeah rust is a real problem in the mountains of NC, lots of salt during the winter.

What really gets me is the 4 stainless bolts and nuts right next to all that rust to hold some sort of "brace" that just goes between frame rails and is not even related to bumper nor is not related to anything else!
