Bumper questions

[Sramos03]

Hello fellas, I come to you guys with a heavy heart as I was recently rear ended onto another vehicle and had my first truck that I just got back in December salvaged. I’m in the process of fixing it and I’m having some issues taking the last bolts off the bumper and frame. This is my first time removing a bumper however I am unable to reach these last bolts since the bumper is bent from the accident that I can’t get to them with the socket. Any tips or suggestions would be great. I currently only have simple tools that my mom let me borrow. I added some pictures. Also was wondering if the bumper on this Yukon would fit, the guy said he would give it to me for $60 which sounds like a good deal. My truck is a 96 c2500, thanks for the guidance guys…

Since you have the later style grille(94 up), the Yukon bumper should fit. You will need to look at the frame horns and see how bent they are, if they are, they'll need some straightening. Likewise with the corner brackets. If you can get those from the Yukon that would be good. I would also recommend taking plenty of pictures as you disassemble your truck and the Yukon ( hopefully its owner will let you pull the bumper and brackets,or at least watch and take pics). I learned a long time ago, there's no substitute for research! Good luck, and I am glad for you, that you are getting to salvage/rebuild your truck. My first 400 Burb was kind of a project ( I grew up on square body trucks and Burbs) and the family lost it to a wreck. So we got this one in '13, and I try to keep it going.

Yes, the bumper will fit. Get a big ass pry bar and bend the bumper until you can get to the bolts. Ain't gonna hurt anything, the damage is already done.

Use a sawzall to cut relief cuts in the metal so it will bend easier.

If you have a chain you can hook it too a solid tree and use the hook end to pry the exact spot you want to pull out. BE GENTLE no need to floor it a little idle back can motivate it. either that or a come a long

Well not the biggest pry bar but managed to borrow one from my mom. Thanks for the advice! Finally was able to get it off!

Yeah the guy said he would save all the parts that go with it to help me out. Thanks! I want to get a 96 GMC Suburban as my next vehicle like the one in the movie jungle all the way.
