yep. did that and had to cut lots off of the bumper brackets to squeeze past cross member and had to trim for bed bolts also. lots of trimming and checking. but can be done.

I used an ECE rear crossmember that is positioned at the end of the frame on my 67 CrewCab. I did this because I installed an FCG tank. It's tight but I don't remember any issues with mounting the bumper. Here's some pictures.

I've got an ECE super track bar and have no clearance issues.
