Need Help with 88 front bumper swap. a few questions

[JustXtreme]

I'm not sure how the brackets are suppose to mount to the body, they don't seem to line up with all of the holes.





also do you think this is going to effect my install? Last owner got a little made at the shock mount

Looks like you have a couple of issues here.
The two brackets you have on the left are for the rear, the one on the right is for the front.
The pic you have of the bumoer shock mount looks very mangled, have you been able to line the bumper uo withoyt the brackets?

i think i can get them to line up, the beat up one is pushed in a little more than the other.
should i pull it out or push the other one in?
