96 K2500 bumper brackets

I need to replace the front passenger side bumper brackets after a Prius smashed into me, I see brackets online but the reviews say they are much thinner metal than OEM ones, anybody know a source for OEM brackets aside from the junkyard?

The "inner" main one #19417113 is discontinued however drop by the dealer and have them check the number in the dealer locator. Possible that a dealer somewhere in the US still shows stock.

The outer support brace #15686150 plenty available in the GM warehouses.

Otherwise ebay for NOS. I'd gladly pull some from the yard down there if it was my truck

LMC. I bought both front and rear sets. Didn't do a side-by-side comparison, but they seem like the OEM ones.

There's probably more than one maker, and grade, of replacement brackets at this time. If the LMC ones are like b454rat says I'd say give them a shot.

I have definitely seen the thinner ones you've heard about, but no idea where they came from as they were on a parts truck I'd bought. They were trash and I wouldn't have given $5 for the whole set. Thin metal, very poor welds on the nuts, and smaller hardware.

The notch in the LMC brackets isn't deep enough for the factory "gaskets". I had to notch mine deeper for Roscoe.

In the parts catalogue they call it a plate. #15548810 Its discontued, some nos avail online, LMC sells replacements

I ordered some from Classic Industries. the outer one is OEM and the inner is aftermarket supposedly to OEM specs, we'll see. Thanks for the replies I wasn't aware of LMC
