Will the bumpers off anything else fit my 65 jetstar 88? I could use a couple of good rust free units for my car.Please let me know.Thanks,Curt

Bumpers identical to what you have on your 65 Jetstar 88 will be found on 65 Delta, and Dynamic88 and JetstarI. The front bumper from a 98 as well as Starfire will work but the rears are not the same.

Here's what appears to be a decent rechromed front bumper that should fit your car, on Ebay right now:

In my experience, the rear bumper is harder to get a real nice chrome job, because it presents a wide (approx. 4 inch) "face" perpendicular to the ground so you can easily see if its not straight...the front bumper has no such "face", curving down and under the car, and that tends to make any imperfections less noticible.
