any bumper can do the job if you are willing to spend the money on some one to weld the mounts.... a toyota bumper would go on with the lest work if you are just going to the junk yard to look for something that will work.

any good welder will have it set up for ya in an hour or two no problem.
i had a bumper on my truck from a 89 toyota 4wd till i got my custom made.

If you're talking about rear bumpers: the bumper on my longbed came off of a 96 Nissan.

yes the front....i had a front and rear from a toy. they didn't bolt right on though...

I had the front and rear in my yard and went to have the rear put on for towing... takes a little welding for a class 3 hitch. the guy welded up a front mount for me while he was at it. didn't cost much ($75?)and was done before lunch.the mounts wern't that different he just beefed them up and moved the points a little(1/2")

the one i have now has survived three big whitetail deer and could have a winch mounted on it easy. me and my buddy built them to have toyota mountig pattern.any toyota bumper hooks right up and you can score those anywhere.i have a pic for my avatar and i'll post a pic of the rear 4 yaImage

and for the record....the racing stripes are not real....

If you want a stock appearing bumper, use a first generation S-10. I measured the distance between the two ends where it curves around the fenders on a S-10 blazer I had in my yard tring to sell for a co-worker and itll fit. Didnt measure the mounts though. Had the thought of using one on my own truck thats why I measured it.
