Fred, the bumpers on these old trucks absorbed many a lick over the years, and the bumper brackets often got bent and misshaped with the collisions. If you can get the bumper bolt holes to light up with only moderate pressure to align them, you really shouldn't worry about the overall fit. If the bumper bolt holes won't line up bumper brackets at all, you'll probably need to do what Jim did... get the help of a welder to heat the bumper brackets and align them correctly.
