Slick 60's

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!

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.

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

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.

With the correct 64-66 bumper the gap is nowhere near as bad.
This is how is should look, and you can see the problem Kevin was taking about
