I recently picked up a '64 long box that had a huge wrap around utility bumper on it that I recently removed. A local old timer sold me a rear bumper off of '63 that bolts up and will fit with some additional spacers. I like the way the bumper looks besides the large gap. Has anyone out there done something similar and closed the gap? I was thinking of possibly a roll pan with slots cut for the brackets to go through. Any pictures folks could share is much appreciated!

Re: Rear Bumper AND Roll Pan
welcome~!
Where you located? I actually have a 64 rear bumper I am wanting to give away if someone is close enough. I have a flareside so don't need the styleside bumper. I think the 63 and 64 bumpers are different. the one I have looks different.

Re: Rear Bumper AND Roll Pan
I believe that bumper came off a Uni (or a wrongbox?), which is why it looks out of place on a Styleside
The one I'm assuming you want looks like this

Re: Rear Bumper AND Roll Pan
I put a roll pan and a bumper on my 63 just because I didn't want to see the gap between the bumper and the tailgate.
It took some work to get it this tight. The inset on the bumper hit the roll pan so I had to make a recess in the roll pan for the bumper to clear it. In the first pic you can see the recess for the bumper.
Was it worth it? It was to me and I would do it again.
