Looking to put a K5 blazer bumper on the truck, the stock just doesn’t look right. Any info would be great. Brackets used, modifications that would be necessary and so on.
Thanks!

I put a blazer bumper on my pickup. Was pretty easy. I used factory blazer style outer 2 brackets, which bolt right on no problem. The center 2 you can either buy or make. I made mine, just used some angle iron and made one to match the bumper shape.

Roger that, blazer brackets should be around the same year as the truck I’m assuming?

Yes. Your truck is a 80s model, so you'd be looking for 81-91 blazer bumper and brackets, so the bumper, and bracket shape matches your front bumper.

Although if you were going to run a 73-80 style bumper, it would also bolt up, but you'd need the same corresponding year brackets. But that wouldn't match the front..

Good deal, I’m guessing even a slick C. 10 are K would fit as well?

Yeah if you found a c10 or a k10 with one, itd fit it same, and they would have the proper factory brackets on it, but those are hard to find. They weren't very common on pickups, only by special order as far as i know. Blazers are a bit more common.

Your welcome, happy to help.
