    They are different. 1974 mounts are bigger. But really not a huge difference.

    Yep, Frank came over and helped me with the tuck. Of course we had to look at Franks car because he is always upgrading his Mav. Very nice car.
    As Frank has already made note to, the tuck was straight forward. Just used the other two bolt holes which pushing the front bumper rearward. It's like Mercury knew everyone would want to tuck their front bumper. I will not bother with the rear bumper as it looks OK as is. Also, I had to do a lot of work to clean all the rust from the mounts, repaint, etc. The big bumper structure (large frame the bumper mounts to) had to be sandblasted and epoxy painted before I could do the final installation. Bumpers rechromed, sandblasting, painting, etc is taking about 2 months to finish. Hopefully, will have it finish before the Perry Cruise-In. Thanks Frank for the help and advice.
