I have tried searching to no avail. I have a '76 that I am trying to get ready to paint and I can't figure out how to remove the front bumper shocks. Do you have to grind off the weld from the support bracket?
I've done this once before but it was about 10 years and a lot of beers ago. Thanks for the help. |

One bolt under the bumper on each side (right and left) those remove the bumper. Then remove the three bolts on each side (in the trunck) those remove the shocks. On the front there is also a collar that goes around the shock, behind the bumper. The collars have two bolts each.
