Corvan bumpers on a 1st gen?
I have a pair of nice chromed bumpers off a corvan - anyone heard of these going on a 1st gen? I imagine new mounting holes would be cut and the old re-filled, but I'm worried about the dimensions of the bumper vs. van. Trying to avoid repairing and rechroming the 1st gen bumpers I have....

Not trying to be a smartass, but you have a set of corvan bumpers, and a 1st gen van, and you want to know if they will fit?
Why not just unbolt the bumpers from the van and see if they fit?Gregg Groff

Mainly I'm wondering if anyone has done this before and if there are any gotchas."Bess" - 1965 Sportvan Custom - 250 3 on the treeComment

looked at them too. couldn't get a measurement so never went any farther. ended up using Camaro bumpers. bolted a piece of flat steel to the brackets and drilled new holes to match the new bumpers.'64 chevy, 292 40 over, 206/526 cam, 2004r trans. 9.75:1, dual webbers, Langdon cast headers, 1.94 valvesComment

I had the skinny '67-'68 rear bumper on the front and '69 rear on the rear. changed to a '69 rear on the front last year. wider bumper hides the brackets better.Originally posted by 65campervan View Post'64 chevy, 292 40 over, 206/526 cam, 2004r trans. 9.75:1, dual webbers, Langdon cast headers, 1.94 valvesComment
