I am starting the process of going Old School with my bumpers. I have a 76 and I am buying a older rear from Kevin this weekend. I have read the posts about this process (not much info) so I am asking if anyone has done this could they give me some tips. I don’t know how much work is involved retrofitting the older bumpers. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for posting the photos. I don't have access to any whole early cars. I found this picture on all914.com. I've circled the bracket.
