Does anyone have any pictures of a 73-74 with a 70-72 front bumper swap and rear? My tailight panel needs to be replaced, so i figured why not change it?

There are a few guys on here who have done the swap. Hopefully they can chime in. If I remember correctly, the swap was easier on the 73 then the 74 as in 74 they went with the Piston style absorbers for the bumpers.

There is a member who did the whole rear change over, but the trunk and gas tank will also require changing and alterations. It's a big undertaking for the rear, but has been done.As for the front it's still cheap and easy enough to just re & re the whole front clip, I've seen a few for $500 complete and in reasonably good shape. The only mod for the front bumper is a couple holes need to be drilled.

Same....just take the fender extensions off the 73/74's.
