Go back and re-read post #11 of this thread. I put the answer there for you...

Here's a quick summary:

"You're missing #12 in the diagram you posted".

Thanks for checking out your truck. The pictures I uploaded were for the person who asked for them, but I read your post the first time you had written it. Anyway, I ordered the parts from gmpartsgiant and will fix this shortly. Thanks everyone. I will be painting the rims black soon, pictures will be added whenever I get a free weekend. I don't have any jack stands so this will be an all day project haha

So, I ordered the two bumper fillers in hopes of repairing this front end completely but I cannot find what they attach to. There is nothing at ALL around the corners of the front bumper bar and it looks like that bar has been modified (brackets cut from bottom). Maybe I need to replace the front fascia face (#6) or just say screw it. I'm a little worried because that fascia is resting on the bumper and its beginning to rust and the rust is showing on the backside of the front bumper.

After reading your post, I just crawed under my truck to see what you're truck is missing.

It's kind of hard to describe, but there is a "Z-shapped" bracket that is welded onto the backside of the steel "bumper" which extends down to support the two bumper fillers you ordered. Look on the backside of the steel bumper on your truck just OUTSIDE the frame-rails (where the bumper is curved on the end) and you may see evidence of the brackets. They appear to be welded-on with my truck.

Also, if you look at the parts-diagram you posted on page 1 of this thread, you'll see how #6 is shown with those brackets hanging down. PM me your email address if you need some pics sent to you.

I'm happy to help...
