Default Bumper swapping

My Blazer has the chrome front and rear back bumpers. Early Saturday morning I was driving home and there was a deer in the road. I didn't see him and hit him goin about 55. Hit him dead center and creased the bumper directly in the middle. The middle was touching the grille and the sides were bent out. I took it off cuz I didn't like it on there.

My buddy said that a bumper from a 'Taco or a Hardbody (Toyota Tacoma and Nissan pickup for you non minitruckers ) would fit and I was wondering if anyone had found that to be true. If it is, then I can get an aftermarket bumper for one of those 2 that will get me a lil closer to having a show dominating, spark throwing machine.

Surely if Zero can do it with his Ford Eclipse (or is it Mitsubishi Escort?) then I can make this work, lol.

of coarse you can make it fit! ive seen an escalade bumper on an s-dime blazer. all it takes is a little fabricating for the brackets. i say do it! that'll look sweet!

What'd they do? Cut it in the middle to shorten it? Surely an Escalade is wider than an S-Dime Blazer, lol.
