Is the 62 Suburban rear bumper actually a front?

They look to be real close. I think the rear actually wraps around a little bit further. But I think the bracket mounting holes are same.
The stlye for both is the same. the rear does not have the cut out for the licence plate.

no, but I guess that it could have been before the mounting holes were drilled.
just measure the distance between the frames front and rear and it will give you the diference

Other than the hole spacing they are the same. Keep in mind though that the front bumper hole spacing is different between the '60-'62's and the '63-'66's. As for the rear bumper hole spacing I would have to verify if they are different in those same year groups.

On building my 66 Burb I found the rear bumper bracket and holes are different from the front. Therefore I am looking for a rear bumper to finish my 66.

I measured my '60 GMC 4x4 Suburban frame at the rear and it is wider than a '63-'66 Suburban/Panel frame at the rear. So it appears that the '60-'62 Suburban/Panel rear bumper hole spacing is different than for the '63-'66's.
