I have two stock chrome bumpers but the one is clearly a front bumper.
The rear looks slightly different and has blunt instead of angled ends but it also has a slight bend toward the end? Is this a rear since it's blunt?

Maybe, I just don't know it has the slight bend in it at the ends and I thought they were flat straight to the end. But I am realizing I don't as much as I used to or ever did about these old rigs.

Here you go. You can see the end comparisons best in the last photo.

Both front and rear '66 bumpers are squared off at the ends. The rear bumper is a completely straight piece. The front bumper is curved in toward the body slightly at both ends.

Looks almost like an old flareside (stepside, in GM-speak) rear bumper.
