Hello Martin & Rian,
I've been following along on your C10 adventures. I too have purchased a 67-72 rear bumper for my 63. After reading about the quality issues you mention above, I checked the bumper that I purchased last week. Surprise, surprise... I have the same issue. My bumper was an "OER" brand, that I picked up at Summit Racing on my drive home from my vacation in Florida. Returning the bumper isn't really an option for me due to shipping cost from Canada, or I could drive it back, 5 hours each way.

I like Ta2Don's idea of adding a bumper bolt to fill each hole. An easy fix.
