The rear bumper will bolt right on IF you use the bumper brackets from a van that has fiberglass bumpers. Also you may have to modify where the endcaps would have mounted. The front bumper-mount on a van with fiberglass bumpers had an extension welded to it to support the fiberglass bumper, which sat higher than the metal one did. Should be relatively easy to rig something similar. However, finding a set of used fiberglass bumpers in good shape may not be particularly easy; new ones are too expensive. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc.
