OEM Bumper Gaurds - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

We're setting up to paint the bumpers for the '60 and one thing I've meant to get straight was the location of the bumper gaurds. I use to have them mounted in the bumper bolt hole location.

As I understand it the bumper gaurds DO NOT mount in the same holes as the two most center bolts that hold on the bumper.

According to MarkB truck they are offset about an inch or so to the outside, see pic.

My question is how do you go about drilling the holes in the correct spots and would any special bits be needed. I have oem bumpers that are heavier and thicker than the after market stuff. I figure it's going to be a bear to do it, and wanted to hear from others.
