    Does anyone know what differences there might be in the pre 1974 bumpers (69.5 to 73)?

    Are they the same? How about mounting hardware?

    Thanks

    The front and rear bumpers are the same from 70 to 72 and all mount the same. The front and rear bumpers are the same from 74 to 77 and all mount the same. The 73 front bumper is larger than the earlier ones but smaller than the later ones. The rear 73 bumper is the same as the early ones but mount on larger braces so it sticks out further than the early ones. They can be interchanged but will require modifications to do so.
