Question '95 rear bumper on a '68?

I picked up a rear bumper from a '95 Chevy short box last week at a yard sale for $50. The guy had installed a rollpan on the '95 and tells me the bumper has about 50 miles on it. It really looks brand new, and I like the way it looks up against my truck.

But. There's always a "but" isn't there?!

But, the frame on my '68 is narrower than the frame on the '95. Using the stock '95 bumper mounts I need to come in three inches, down one-and-one-half inches, and back one-and-one-half inches.

I'm trying to decide if it is worth the trouble to fab a bracket. Well, actually I'm hoping someone makes a bracket I can just bolt in. Or if I should sell the sucker for $150 and get a stock-style step bumper from someone like ECE.

Any thoughts?

P.S.- I finally got this truck running like she ought to. Ran 14.4 at 95.6 MPH at Spokane Raceway Park in mid-August. I took home the trophy for my bracket. Not bad for my first time to the track.
