Rear Bumper blues

Ok , everyone can call me dumb, but just this once.... please. I did
something dumb last weekend. I helped a neighbor drop a small maple tree (
about 16 inches in diameter) in his front yard. No, I didn't drop it of the
truck and no I didn't yank the bumper to pieces by having a safety line
tied off to the truck when the tree dropped. My sin was worse. After the
tree was down, cut into stove lengths and mostly carted away by another
neighbor with a fire place, I started helping dig and pull out some if the
roots. By now you have guessed what I did. Using the truck bumper ( I know,
I know, hush now) and a logging chain (Hush I said!) I attached a root I
thought was loose enough from the ground to be pulled out. Unfortunately,
for my bumper, it was not and now the ball on the bumper hitch points a bit
more rearward than normal. Also, the steps on either side of bumper
slightly resemble an inverted "V". Now, my question is this, is there
anyone on the list that has either a flame red or black Dakota that has
installed a roll pan and is wanting to part with the factory bumper? I
thought I'd ask here before I start combing the local scrap yards. Anyone
having bumper and is willing to part with it, please let me know.

Thanks
