66 Panel bumpers

[shrunken66stroker]

From looking at the bolt pattern on that panel I almost thought I had a panel rear bumper. I bought this one off of Craig's list a few months ago and it was advertised as a 60-63 front bumper. I thought the bolt pattern was the same as the 64-66 front bumper and this would have explained why it didn't fit. My bumper has license plate mounting holes though so I'll go back to my original assumption that I have a 60-63 front.

Just to clarify, the '60-'62 bumpers have a wider bolt spacing than the '63-'66 bumpers.

The holes that mount to the frame are different too. They're narrower by an inch or so, so I think I'll weld them all shut and weld some studs on to mount it exactly where I want it. I was thinking about shaving the bolts anyway.
