    I don't know what you guys are talking about since my conversion
    was from '74 to '73. The '73 front bumper mounts the same as the
    '74 and up apparently 'cause mine was a bolt on/off swap.

    I have never really looked at the mounting on '70-'72 cars.

    These guys are correct, having a parts car or spare to look at helps.
    I bought an entire '73 parts car for my swap, plus the cost of newly
    chromed bumpers.
