60-66 vs 68+ frame rails

I imagine they are the same or very very close as my '61 is sitting on a '68 frame, but it has no rear bumper...

I was just going to order one off LMC but before I do I was wondering if anyone could tell me for sure if there are any differences on the rear or front bumper mounts on my 61 vs a 68 frame?

Both the front and rear of the '60-'62 frames are wider than the '63-'72 frames. Of course the front frame horns are contoured for the '67-'72 front bumper. The frame width at the front and rear are the same from '63 to '72. Actually the same thru '87, or '91 for the R and V series.
