Welcome 
According to my 'Illustrated Facts and Features Manual' 65 came with the channel type rear bumper for the 'flareside', and appears they only came painted. The 'stylesides' were standard type bumpers and came chrome, or painted. Think will find many of the utility type bumpers do not have the bumper brackets so it considering swap need to keep eye out for set.

Stepsides used the same rear bumpers from 1953-72. They are available from most aftermarket suppliers in painted, chrome, or stainless steel. The mounting brackets are also the same. That gives you lots of choices for what look you want and what price range your budget dictates.
