Default Front bumper swap?

I have a 2006 ram 1500 ...Will a 2005 ram 3500 front bumper (Chrome part) w/ tow hooks be a direct fit without issues?

I wanna say yes except maybe the tow hooks since they are made to attach to a 1 ton frame which is thicker than your frame but it should work

We just did this to my 07 1500. We had to take the tow hooks off and drill a couple of mounting holes but it fit.

Now when you say "drilled a couple of mounting holes"
Was that for the hooks or for the bumper?

The bumper I'm looking at has the tow hooks attached to the brackets I'm just worried about having to modify the locating points.
