GA 60-62 Front Bumper Guards - Trade for 63-66 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a set of supposedly NOS 60-62 bumper guards. Didn’t have a tape measure on me when I bought them, and just tried to fit them up tonight to realize I had bought the wrong ones.

These are in good shape with no dents, but scuffs and dirty from storage. Some surface rust on inside of one of them where some water sat. The cage nuts are very nice.

I want to trade them for a set of the 63-66 bumper guards. Not wanting to sell at the moment because maybe one day I’ll pick up a 60-62 truck and have these around for it.

Do the 60-62 guards sit correctly on the 63-66 bumper? I know the bolts are spaced differently but wondering if the profile is the same, could you put another cage nut in the bracket to fit your bumper? Or is the location of both nuts different?

The profile is different as well, so no point in trying to ruin a set of nice 60-62 guards
