74 maverick questions

Hi everyone, new to the site just stumbled across it while searching for parts for my maverick.

I have a 1974 2 door maverick all stock, I am currently restoring it to original (or as close to) original condition as I can.

I was wondering if anyone could possibly give me some tips/ or help me locate the interior door pull handles for the inside? Maybe some help locating a rear bumper also. I appreciate it and I'll alsobe posting some pictures of my progress also to share with you all. Cheers and thanks for reading.

 

Welcome to the Maverick Message Board. Lots of info here as well as all over the internet.

 

Thank you!, I am also from Indiana, Near LaPorte area.

If anyone sees this, I have a question, how hard is it to eliminate the rear bumper on a 1974? Or change it to a small bumper, I'm not a huge fan of the bulky look the stock bumper gives it, I planned to keep it original but would like for it to look good and I believe a smaller rear bumper would give it that.

 

There is a tech article on here (do a search) that tells you how to do it and what is required.

 

Why??

Unless it's a "Grabber" or Comet GT, there is no point in keeping any Maverick/Comet "stock".

 

What?? But it's so attractive!
