The '69 used a vacuum tank mounted to the inner driver's fender. The front cross-member tank appeared sometime in the mid-70s. If you're putting on the chrome bumpers, you're going to need the '69 front support so you have all the bracket holes.
Do you have a copy of the Assembly Instruction Manual for '69? It will show all of the needed parts.

Here's a digital copy of the '69 AIM you can download from my Google drive — it's way too large to upload the file here. Jump to page 300 for the front bumper illustration.
On a download request, Google says the file is too large to preview and too large to scan for viruses. I've checked the file with my own anti-virus software with no issues.
I looked at using Acrobat to break the pdf into parts, but it would have to be 11 parts for the forum to accept the complete doc.
