My first vehicle was an '88 bronco II. It also had the step on the back bumper. My buddy also has an '87 with it also. I'm pretty sure any bronco II 90 or earlier should have the step as long as they had the swing away rear spare tire carrier.

Glad you got one ordered. I saw the in stock hitch that was the universal one and it is definately one you DON'T want. It's got three thousand holes in it because it fits probably 20 gm trucks, too much hardware to fool with. The hitch bolts up really easy, just make sure to remove your spare before...
