79-93 chrome front bumper differences?

i have a chrome bumper and brackets that i purchased from a business that is no longer open. the brackets fit my truck (85) but the bumper doesn't come close to fitting the brackets?

so what im looking for is how many different brackets and different chrome front bumpers were there over the years (79-93)? i think i may have a late 70's bumper from my research but im not 100% sure. i will provide pictures of what i have tomorrow.

thanks

james

There was this one up to 85 or 86 I think...I like it better than the bigger bumper of the later years.



That is the only other bumper I know of from 81-93 that Dodge used,

besides the common one on 99% of all the diesel trucks, below

This is the 91-93 Bumper

Mines a bit different on my 84, which is the same one that was on my 87 and my 86 parts truck. The rib that sticks out on that black one Brandon posted, is concave on mine.

That's the same as the 91-93 bumper without the pads...that's what most of late 80's mid 80's had. i think it was an option...the one i posted with the rib may have been a standard bumper
