That's normal for 68-69, and I believe 70 also; it's open space. The bumper brackets bolt to the frame rails, with a small bar as a brace to the fender. They had a small panel at the top front of the fender that closes off the pocket above the headlamp area. There's another panel, tall but not very wide, aft of the wheel that closes off the hinge pillar area. They use a hex-head machine screw with a fairly large washer. Inner aprons have a small contoured metal cover forward of suspension - specific shape for each side, uses hex-head screws - and a rubber-ish flap aft of the suspension that uses spring clips.
A factory service manual in print form is highly recommended, will help you a LOT. And the one bumper bracket will have a hole that allows a rod to bolt to it. The rod goes from the bumper bracket to the hole in the fender just in front of the wheel in the wheel opening.
