I'l looking around at some cars and I like the chrome front and rear bumpers, around 70-73 ??. How hard, or can it be done, to put chrome bumpers on a 74-5-6's. And does it make sence to do so, except I like it. Thanks

The 1970-74 are all the same. painted or chromed, same size, but it was 1973 that added back bumpereetes, then 1974 added fronts. Those are easilyremovable.
the big ugly black rubber things on the 1975-76 can be swapped. Its a days work, and very rewarding when you are done! the hard part is finding good early style chrome ones for reasonable money. I noticed someone posted a parts car in classified that had chrome bumpers. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) It's the other way around - 73 = front only & 74 added backs for F & R Bumperettes/guards/tits/etc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
