is there a difference between a 68 c10 rear bumper and a 71 c10 rear bumper? will 71 bolt right up without issue?

Same bumper from 67-72. The only difference is between Fleetside and Stepside. Brackets vary by long/short bed and coil/leaf springs.

I would imagine they are all the same. I do know 72 had a differently styled step bumper though.
