    I have a 72’ maverick that is missing the front and rear valences. I came across a 73’ maverick for parts and am hoping they will fit the 72’. Can anyone confirm?

    On my '74 maverick I snagged a front valance and fender skirts from one car, and a rear valance from another car, both cars I pulled them from were different years, and one was a '73...

    The opening in the 73 valance is one year only, much bigger and only looks right with a 73 bumper. The opening in the earlier ones looks right with the thin bumpers.

    I have an early valance here that I would sell, but I am in Florida. Shipping would be steep.

    If that rear valence isn't in good shape, I have a Dynacorn rear valence on mine. Nice, well made piece. And your not fooling around with old junk.
