rear bumper ideas?

[603 z71]

hey guys this is my first post so bear with me here haha. i live in New Hampshire so obviously i got some rust on my 97 gmc z71. have and old gm rear bumper from a 70's maybe 80's brackets are different and it seems to be almost 20 inches wider. should i try making brackets for that or should i make a nice clean tube bumper for the rear? im gonna be putting a new hitch on and probably adding a body lift in the future. anyone got pics or ideas? oh p.s its a ecsb.

You're best bet (IMO) is to make one yourself if you can, you'll come out WAY cheaper.

Yeah build your own if you have the time and tools. I just ordered this one off eBay from a company in Texas, ran me around $440 shipped, will take about 4 weeks to build and ship:
