64-65 Fronts are different but will bolt up. It looks like the 63-64-65 Rears are the same.

I had a 65 bumper on a 64 the 4 bumper bolts on the brackets had to be shimmed about 3/4 inch on both sides to mount.

The outer rear bumper bolts are centered under the tail lights. Lights are different widths, so the holes are spaced differently. Otherwise they are the same, 63s and 65s are the same, 64s are just slightly different. Crazy.

Next question, will 64 brackets work on a 65 bumper?

Hard to see in my photos but the front looks like the spacing is different for the bumper bolts.

Not the first time I saw someone looking for a 65 bumper to put on a 64.
Is this a common mod, or lack of parts, or both?

I recall recently someone on here looking to replace their 64 bumper with a 65.
I could be mistaken, but worth checking here or the wanted threads.

Mo.

You'll have to have the 64 brackets! They mount to the frame horns the same, Also I think you'll need the small brackets on the ends for the 64 and attach them to the bottom of the fenders.
