Difference between 70 & 73/74 bumpers?

viperguy · 09-25-2008, 04:25 PM

I have a 1970 front cuda bumper and want to know the difference between the 1970-1974 front bumpers. I need to find a junker bumper for some parts and need to know if I absolutely need a 70 or if other years might work for a donor.

I’ve located a 1973 front bumper for a good price but need to know if it is compatible.

Thanks so much for the help!!

i think 73 and up have the energy absorbing pistons and might use a different jack set-up. i don't know if they can be swapped.

Bracketing is not an issue, I won't be using that from the 74. I just need some of the license plate frame part. Visually, are the bumpers the same?

i would guess that the bumpers are not the same. you could try going to a dealer and asking them if they could look it up.
