I don't have the bumper but it looks to me that the mounting holes line up with the mounting bolts for your front beam. So the real question in my mind would be is it for a linkpin beam or a ball joint beam. Those are just my observations. They probably don't help much but hopefully the do a little.

Looks like there is only one set of mounting holes for the torsion tubes, and it also fits all years. I would guess it mounts to the lower tube only.

Bill I have the same bumper from J.C. Whitney. The bolt holes are about 2" center to center and the length is about 26.5". Mine is on a ball joint front end and I had to make some slight modifications to allow it to fit around the grease fittings. I mounted it with the bolt holes between the tubes and used a piece of flat bar on the back side. Then using the bolts I pulled the flat bar to the mounting bracket on the bumper to bend it so that the bumper wouldn't move. I maybe wrong but I think on a link pin the tubes are a closer and if so it would be easier to install. You can go to my home page in the members profiles and see what it looks like.

Thanks, Mike. Can you tell me how far away from the beam does the bumper protude when installed?

Bill The bottom bar is about 5" from the tubes and the top bar is about 10" from the tubes. I did spring the top bar in a little (1-2")with an ax handle to make it look better to me. Hope this helps.
