the 94+ mazdas are raely done up. perhaps maybe a ranger bumper,or bodykit for a ranger would fit?

I know that stock bumper would probably look sweet on an 86-93...

I found a 05 Ford Ranger STX front bumper that looks pretty sweet, but I am not sure if it would fit or not.

I think that your forgetting that the 86-93 B's are pretty square, have sharp lines and lack slowly rounded edges. If you put that bumper on it will look out of place. Even if it fits and lines up with the fenders somewhat, it will still look like you just slapped on a new style bumper. You want to pick a bumper that looks like it came on the truck. I know people just do things to be different but make sure that it looks good at the same time.

Check out some of these. Any mid 90's Toyota bumpers work well.




Thats where I got the style/make/year for mine. Takes a couple of hours for the mounts and another half an hour to do the final shimming.
