I can't imagine anyone other than the factory going to the trouble to make a stamping tool to do that. By factory I mean either the bumper manufacturer or the vehicle assembly plant.

Why some have it and others don't is the question. I am confident it is the original bumper to my truck. My truck is a late '66 Fremont-built 2WD with 15" wheels.
my 65 is a Fremont truck, but I think my 64 is a Janesville, I will get some pics and info tomorrow. both were 1/2 ton 2wd, and both had a spare tire cutout in the gas tank. ( did all subs come with a underneath spare?)

I always assumed all C10 Subs & Panels came with the underneath spare. I'm not aware of a spare tire delete option nor any interior spare tire mount option like later Blazers.
