I found a Step and tow bumper for my 83 Flareside

This might work. A FB find. Probably an old Ranger bumper. Just mocking it up, I think it will be worth a little effort.

Cool!  

It looks better than I thought!
I always think of Broncos & Flaresides having the skinny little bumper, but this seems a lot more functional.  👍

Let me know if you see any vendor markings or part numbers on the bumper, I'd be interested in finding a suitable step bumper for my flareside as well.

Years ago my brother saw a flare with a step and I asked if to looked to wide for the truck and he said no.
I then asked if he know what it was from as there was no info on them and he did not.

Some thought maybe a S10 pick up step might work but dont know of anyone that gave it a try to say yes or no on.

Looks good just needs to go a little higher to cover the openings for the brackets.
Do you have any brackets or you got to come up with them?

I knew I would be pulling more than a step bumper could handle so I went with a frame mounted hitch.

My truck also came with the normal skinny flare side bumper that I filled in hols a PO driller for the plate and shaved the bumper bolts.
