3rd gen bumper brackets

[AmadeusCharger500]

Will the front and or rear bumper brackets interchange from 71/72 to 73/74? Are the rears the same?
I am trying to make a 73 charger look like a 71 RT and want to know if I can use a bumper from a 71.
Thanks

71/72 are different from 73/34. The 73/74 style bracket holds the bumper out further from the fenders/quarters. You CAN physically bolt them on between different model years. So, yes, you can bolt the 71 bumper onto a 73/74. If you want ot eliminate the rubber fillers, use 71/72 brackets.

another difference is the two top of front bumper braces ( the ones that attach up to front of fender ) 71/72 is bolted directly to the bumper and 73/74 is bolted with a fastener on braces itself throught an "eyelet" lip of the bumper.

Do you have a picture of the 73-74 set up?
