What Bumper Do I have Here?

The rear bumper is missing from my 61 Panel. Yesterday I was reading that the front and rear bumpers are the same shape, but the bolt holes are in different places. I went and looked at my front bumper because its missing a couple bolts, and I realized that the brackets are in a different place than the bolt holes.

I wonder if I have a rear bumper on the front of my truck?

Does anyone have the measurements for the bolt holes?

I think that you have a 63-66 bumper on the front.

oh ok. That makes sense though since the later frames are taller.
