Is there a difference in 1968 wagon and 1968 car rear bumper sizes?
Also, do these look like original markings? I doubt they make repops right?

Re: 1968 510 rear bumper questions
Wagon and Sedan bumpers are not the same. I believe the Wagon bumper is narrower. Also the side tabs, I believe the sedans have nuts tacked on, and the wagons are just a plate, as on sedans you bolt the bumper onto the quarter panel through the trunk, and on the wagon you go from outside.

That sounds right to me too. While they aren't technically the same you can interchange them with some work. At least that's the way it was always explained to me. IIRC the rear bumper on my wagon was originally (or at least previously) on a sedan.
When the only tool you have is a hammer every problem starts to look like a hippy.

Right on. Makes sense now. I do have another bumper I pulled from a wagon and it also has the tab mounts without the tack welded nut.
Thanks for the responses!

You sure can........for the right price.
Never been mounted.....
I saw one sell for a grand back in 2009. Can't remember if it was a sedan or wagon though.
