    Are you going big bumper to little bumper? Can you provide pictures or give a description of what you're trying to accomplish?

    Another thing to look into is that the valance for 73 has a really large opening. 70-72 valance has an opening that more closely matches the grill.

    I have a couple here if interested.

    Lzoesch,
    the 1973 bumper was a mid-size step between the early and late bumpers. One year only ...
