    Wikiped said that in 74 the Maverick decklid was revised in lieu of a bigger trunk, and is higher than previous years...

    Where?.....looked thru the gallery and I'm not seeing it. This might be a factor in my build. I can get 74-77's all day long around here for the price of dirt. But the 70-72's are hard to come by and alittle taller on the food chain. My build is leaning tward a Boss/Maverick kinda vibe and replacing the bumpers seems easier than a complete f/r brake swap so what should I do?

    No difference in height or decklid between the years. Wikipedia is wrong. 4 door/2 door trunk lids are different, maybe that's what they were thinking.

    Somebody posting probably got that idea because the quarter extensions are longer on the big bumper cars. In fact, the rear bumper is lower than the thin bumpers and that accounts for the difference.
