'95 rear bumper on a '68?

[Earl Junior]

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.

You go fella'. Most might suggest selling the bumper and getting a stock type one, but if YOU like the way it looks, make up some brackets and bolt 'er on. Dare to be different!

Putter you are so true!! I like thwe way you think, I also like someone else's sig. Customize everything, leave nothing alone. If you like it...do it

Now I forgot his board name, saxman or something like that did the same on his 68. Here is what his looks like and a picture of the brackets his dad made to mount them.

I am using a S10 bumper on my stepside. Worked out great.

I like the bumper on the fleetside truck and the s 10 bumper on the # 3 pic but the first one is a little wide. But hey its your truck do whatever YOU like. Good find though!
