67-72 rear bumper on 73-87?

[MONTEZ]

I was looking at the rear bumber on the shop truck yesterday (68 fleetside) and was wondering how hard it would be to make it wotk on a 73-87. I like the way that it stops without wrapping around the edges of the bed. I know there would be a gap on the edges but I was thinking of filling them with the end fillers for the 3 piece roll pan to bring out closer to the bumper. I have no idea how wide the 67-72 bumper is and if it would be too wide or too narrow to even conscider. Any toughts?

I think it will look terrible, and won't match the front either.

73-80 bumpers look better than 81-87's and don't wrap that much...might want to look into one of those...or modify one of those if you already plan on welding.

i looked into it. the width, as reported here, is 76.5 in.

i ended up getting the stock one to match the front.
