I removed these brackets (see pic below) from my 74 parts car front bumper. There were no such brackets on my 73 front bumper, but I supposed they could have been left off by a PO. The PET diagram doesn't show them... Are these brackets OE and, if so, were they on all 70-74 front bumpers? They look like stock pieces, fit perfectly between the bumper and the bumper mount bracket, and make sense to beef up the bumper a bit.

I should clarify, the braces pictured essentially bridge the back side of the bumper (where the bumperettes bolt on) and the front side of the bumper bracket (opposite side of the bracket to where the dog bones go). I should have taken a pic of them in situ. Sorry I’m not doing a good job of explaining this…

Without them you have a few mire inches before you hit something. If you hit anything with the bumperettes it bends the bumper. |
