63-66 rear bumper

I have read that the rear bumpers are the same as the front bumpers. Some say though that they are upside down on the rear. Can anyone confirm this?

Re: 63-66 rear bumper

Nope, they are not. Holes are in different places. They are close but not enough to use the correct brackets to hold everything.

Re: 63-66 rear bumper

Same basic shape though right? I can drill and fill holes.

Re: 63-66 rear bumper

Thanks Chakah, looks like the same bumper but on the front they actually drilled out the indents.

Re: 63-66 rear bumper

Well, like chevy_mike said, won't bolt right up. The indents would be the front, you're right, but you'd have to drill and weld some holes. The frame widens in the back which makes 4 holes out of place. The two outer bolts measured the same distance apart.

Re: 63-66 rear bumper

Would you take a measurement as to how much the top of the bumper is above the rear valance?
