Default Bumper Fit

Got rear ended in July and bumper and brackets were twisted. As always the truck is able to take a hit. Bought new bumber and supports from LMC Truck. Installed new bumper but the the brackets were not exact. Had to drill new holes on each bracket where they connect to the frame.

Now for the real kicker. I got hit again last Friday. Dead stopped. Women texting while driving. Her car totalled. Bumper and brackets toast.

My question is I can get another bumper from LMC Truck but where can I get the correct brackets? Everywhere I looked, they don't show pictures of the brackets which would help. If I go to the bone yard, will bumper and brackets from 93 to 96 fit my vehicle? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I bought a new bumper from autoanything.com and brackets and they had two different types of mounting brackets. I got the one with a bunch of different holes so it would fit. There were holes that lined up perfect. But i got a FYI step bumper made by westin. I paid 75 bucks for the bumper mounting kit and it worked great.
