    Quick question everyone.
    Are the bumper supports on the 70-72 Mavericks/Comets the only years made that way--the same? (Inner and outter supports on each side)
    I'm guessing that the 73s + have different supports since they are of the "big bumper" era, or am I wrong?
    I am in the hunt for a driver side inner support as mine and the ones I keep finding are shot.
    Thanks in advance!
    Oh and while I'm at it, how about side lights front and rear--are they the same in all years? Darn plastic is so old several of mine broke or froze the nuts and or screws.
    Again many thanks for any direction on both issues here. :tiphat:

    Here is a pic of a 70-72 bracket and 73 bracket. Are you calling the inner support the inside of the trunk bracket that is welded to the floor? If so, I used a 69-70 Mustang bracket. This inside bracket fits 70-73 bumper mounts

    Are we talking front or rear brackets?

    Bezels are the same shape. 1974-1977 bezels were painted while 1970-1973 had a chrome edge.

    If you just need some individual front bumper brackets, I should have some. Email me directly (see below) if I can help.
