Default 97 Ram Van Front Bumper

Hey all, I'm looking for a new / used front bumper for my vsn and having little luck finding the exact year/model for my van. Do you know other years or models that are compatible? Like do the trucks from the same year have the same bumpers as the van? If it came with a valence / skirt option I'd be stoked

Can you get that fixed? It doesn't look that bad.

Battle scars!

Have you checked into one of those paintless dent repair places? They are not as cheap as you would think. I've got some slight ripples in the door on my Chevy van from where I backed into a car and stopped by this one local place and they wanted $150 to remove the ripples. It was actually a dent but I pulled it out using a suction cup and reduced them to some slight inward bumps. So I just left it.

I see them being parted out pretty regularly around here... if not in a hurry, just set up an automated search on craigslist and periodically check the inventory on local you pull it lots...

I don't know the year range off the top of my head. I want to say something like 1994 - 97 wil e the same, but you'll have to do a parts search and cross reference part numbers to be sure...

The bumper looks the same as my 2001 so just a guess but I'd say up to 2003 when production ended is the same.

1998-2003 listed a different part number in the first place I looked... doesn't mean for sure it won't fit, but there were some reasonably significant changes on the front end, interior and miscellaneous other things in 1998 so I'm thinking that it might not be a direct fit from those years...
