It should be the G-body platform, and any other G-body bumper should fit, although it may not look exactly like what is there.

G-body cars were made from 1978-1987, and consisted of the Cutlass, Monte Carlo, Grand Prix, Regal, etc.

They were all weak in the area you describe. Most that I have looked at here in the IA rust belt have the same sort of rust you describe.

Hope this helps-

Andrew
