66 front chassis same as 68 chassis

Is the front of the 66 chevy truck chassis the same as the 68 chevy truck/suburban, just the fron 12" of the frame, where the bumper bolts. The 66 I bought the PO weld a 4" diameter pipe as a bumper and he made a cut in the frame to seat the pipe and weld it, so I need to find the tip of the frame to replace it and have the holes for the bumper.

Thanks for your help

Just find someone who is getting ready to scrap a 66, cut off some extra of the front frame horns, and then reinstall them later. Kieth

The frame horns on the '67-'72 trucks are different from the '63-'66 trucks as the bumper is different. You will have to find a donor frame from the '63-'66 years pickup, Suburban or Panel.
