I'm curious whether you considered making a new bumper. At least in Canada, the correct section of steel (for Chev bumpers) is still available.
Advantages of making new - straight, clean steel to work on, no need to fill in Chev holes and drill Ford holes, preserves the Chev bumper for others.
Disadvantages - not "vintage", might cost either more or less depending on how the Chev bumper was priced (collector or clear it off the property).
I helped Bob Carriere make a new Chev bumper and it wasn't difficult.
