Default Whats the difference in Bumpers?

I'm looking at getting the truck a new bumper, but I look on LMC and they've got 2 different ones for a 92-96. What Is the attachment difference with the "Bumper Cutouts" and "No bumper cutouts"

http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/fd/full.aspx?Page=20

Will the bumper with the center "cutout" work for my truck that right now just has a plain ol bumper?

What I'm looking at getting is the #4 bumper in the 92-96 section on the right of the page.

Looks like I would need to get # 5, both #6's, and then #'s 7 and 8 as well.

Will this bumper bolt up to my truck in the same manner one with the solid front would?

Thoughts?

Thanks!

All of those bumpers will bolt up. I would get the bottom one so that you can paint it and not have the plastic crap like I have. I hate it. Ever think about an aftermarket bumper??

Well I was looking at the XLT style chrome bumper with the black trim pieces rather than a painted one.

As far as aftermarket bumpers, the price range is generally too high! Im just lookin to improve the look of my front end to match the paint job im gettin!

If your looking for just a stock chrome bumper why not try to find one at a scrap yard?

Ive tried... numerous times!

Problem is that most of the scrap trucks have bad bumpers. Bent, dented, chrome coming off, etc.

CRAIGSLIST.......I found an original Ford diesel bumper (with the holes and trim pieces) in great+ (but not perfect) condition for $90 bucks. It took me 2 months of searching but the price was good. There is some light rust and a few light scratches but a very nice bumper.
