question about rear bumper brackets

i remember reading on this site that the rear bumper brackets are actually different between an early and late 63-66 ???

the brackets i bought seem to pitch the bumper at an angle forward and down and they don't seem to line up with the bumper holes unless i put all the bolts in loose and snug each up at the same time.

i have a 65 stepside c10

are the frame rails actually narrower on the earlier models?

I believe 60-62 does have a narrower frame.
