Does anybody know?

And the mounting hole spacing/location on a 63-66 rear fleet bumper

Re: Does anybody know?

Thanks, I have been unable to find an OEM 60-62 fleet bumper like the one in the picture (it is off a 63-66). I know I can purchase an aftermarket one, but they often are not the same structural quality as the OEM ones, so if I cannot find a OEM 60-62 fleet bumper like the one shown, I will take this one weld the holes and redrill for the 60-62 brackets.

I have a perfect OEM front bumper, so will take both and have them show chrome plated when the time comes.

Re: Does anybody know?

you know you can allways "shave '" it , weld the original holes, and weld in the new bolts in the rigght location ,leaving a clean shaved bumper. We used to call them CAL Bumpers.
