You're better off checking Craigslist out, or even a few junkyards.

Even if someone on here did have one, shipping would be horrendous by itself.

Edit: It looks like yours is a sport..that's gonna be even harder to find.

why would it being a sport make it harder to find a bumper?

Not as many folks make parts for trucks with the sport package, but, beings yours is a 97, your bumper is exactly the same as non-sport trucks. (as are the headlights.)

Well the only difference would be the fact that his is still colored like the newer sports. Right?

But I guess you could find another bumper and paint it.

Because the sports have colored grilles and bumpers. And there are not as many of them as an average ram. Plus you'd have to find your color.

Otherwise you could find another grille/bumper and paint it I guess.

Well if you are ever in southern WI/northern IL area I've got an old Chevy tow truck push bumper that was reworked to mount onto a 2nd Gen Dodge Ram that I repainted black and no longer need. Looks a little like this but without the grate.


Original plan was to weld a bar ontop of it and replace my old bumper with it but I ended up deciding against it. In the rare case you want it, you can have it for free.
