I have 2000 Dodge Dakota. I bought this truck with front end damage and it needs some work.

I was noticing that the front bumper is made of plastic and the 2nd part of the bumper is made of metal. ON NEWER models, it's all one piece and entirely made of plastic....

I was wondering if you can use newer model bumpers on this model Dakota???

Here's what I'm talking about if it was unclear::

01-04 Bumper - http://www.ebay.com/itm/330611768463?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Can you use an 01-04 front bumper (plastic) on a 2000 Dodge Dakota???
Do I just need to replace a bracket or two?

I found this to be the only pair of brackets to be different:

I'd go with the one piece bumper, you'll never have to worry about it rusting, but n the other hand if you want everything to be the same color the 2 piece would be better, the paint won't stick to the black plastic of the one piece
