69 chevy bumper still wont line up to 72 gmc - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I made a post a week or so ago, and the replies i got were to buy 69 brackets but that did not work. I am trying to install a smooth 1969 chevy bumper on my 1972 2wd gmc, with the bumper pushed against the frame it still sticks 2 or 3 inches from the grill and leaves a gap. I bought different brackets and they still wont work, i am trying to install it with the 2 top brackets that rest above the frame rail and you run a bolt through.

Any ideas??? It just seems my frame needs to sit back about an inch, this bumper combo not compatible?
