So would the 65/66 bumpers be the same?
Bumper match?

Chrysler no, Fury maybe front, Dodge maybe front, not rears.

Fury fronts on a 65 66 are the same except for the additional bumpette holes. Rears are completely different.

Although the cars look similar, there a *bunch* of subtle differences between 65 and 66 Fury. (and between 67 and 68, although not as much there)
'66 was a year of a lot of mechanical changes.
For the list below, obviously if the part looks different (like the taillights, grilles/headlight bezels, etc) I won't mention it.
Here are some not-so-obvious differences between 65 and 66 Fury:
rear bumper
fuel tank and filler necks (65 Fury is a 1-year, 1-car tank - it fits nothing else)
all body sheetmetal except hood and roof
doors and fenders differ based on location of emblems and molding holes
doors also differ for holesize for door locks - 65 takes the big-bezel locks
quarterpanel 'patch' panels likely differ as the indentation at the rear bumper wrap-around is different
front subframe - 65 has the 1-year driverside motormount
dashboard bezels/trim for gaugepod and HVAC
consoles and shifters
65 MT is ball & trunnion output, 66 is U-joint
65 and 66 AT are both U-joint, but 65 is cableshift
therefore, steering columns - with column shift, 65 is cable and 66 is lever
but I believe the mounting plate at the base of floorshift columns also differs between 65 & 66 due to the cable-shift setup on the column-shift cars of 65
and IIRC, there is a difference between front bumpers where the TS housings attach. The length of the tab holding the housing, or the housings themselves, is different. Or the used housings that look exactly like 65 Fury were not 66's as I was told. (it's been 20 years since that event)
