Rear Bumper Fitting

Hi all,

Hopefully a quick, easy one.

Will a rear bumper from a 59 styleside fit a 66 styleside?

One has come up near me in the UK, and I would like to fit it as a stop gap until I find a proper one in the UK.
Basic measurements by the seller look good.

Cheers,
Dean

Why not, even if you have to drill new holes for the brackets. It's only temporary right.

It was more checking it the brackets are going to be the right spacing for the chassis rails?

And this bumper wraps around the sides of the bed, so is the bed the same width?

The bumper is different, the brackets are different.

Is it just mounting holes that are different?
Are the chassis dimensions the same?

All the old pickups I've had were on a 34" frame.
