All you really need are flat peices of metal to extend off you factory brackets. Drill new holes and attach the bumper.

gota remember the bumpers surrounding area is curved and wont bolt to a flat surface very well. This is why the frame has rounded ends.

A '91 truck is alot different than our 83-88 trucks, I don't think they have rounded ends on the frame.

They are alot more like my 93' Ranger. This plate attaches to the frame, and he could use a plate to extend the bracket. He may have to cut the bracket a little to make the bumper fit but is an easy way to do it. Another way to do it is make your own brackets, just have them extend 3 in.

i am thinking that bracket looks about right. we are going to hold up the bumper and make some cardboad models and start welding.
