will 65 chevy bumpers fit a 59 chevy truck?

hi
will 65 chevy 1/2 ton bumpers fit 59 1/2 ton chevy truck? Will 65 bumper brackets fit on a 59?
also will 47-54 chevy truck bumper brackets fit a 59 truck?
Radio in truck is gone, cheaper to install a delete plate. Will a delete plate fit correctly over the opening?
thanks

Delete plate is rectangular with bowtie to fit over oval hole. Round inserts go in two knob holes. Will post pic when I get to my computer. Don't know about bumper.

Here is the pic. Left one has slipped a little, I need to tighten the clip.
