Todd, I just ordered a new OEM chrome bumper from BusDepot, $120. The old bumper I took off was made in the far east, but my new one is german made and fit like a charm. Mine is an 83, but I think that the bumpers all mount the same on Vanagons. I was quoted $125 from Johnsons in Statesville for a used one, and when I saw it it was in worse condition than my recently wrtecked one. Dont waste your time on a used bumper.
