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?

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. taz3 29th-December-2008, 07:56 PM 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. taz3 29th-December-2008, 08:06 PM Here's a couple links. http://www.stevesnovasite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73792&highlight=rear+bumper A members complete rear conversion.

It's bolt on...and yes it's an earlier model hood. Jake2 3rd-January-2009, 10:45 AM what about the fenders? 69SSAcadian 3rd-January-2009, 02:04 PM what about the fenders? Same....just take the fender extensions off the 73/74's. | |
