on the older cars there is a captured nut in the front wall.
You may need to drill holes and weld on a nut from the back side...not sure. Rich |

Yep- they bolt right up to the front "wall"/ bulkhead behind the bumper. I think you could through-bolt it (gasp) if you spray a little primer there first.

the pics definelty help, thanks, problem is I do not have that boss or those nuts on my car? My car is a 75, is it possible they actually changed the car stampings?
As for the nuts and bolts, YES, I can use them, I just need to figure out how to get to the backside of where the nut/ bolt would go, it looks like it is below the lights, can I access it from underneath? thanks, matt |

It is in the void under the headlight bucket. on early models there is access on a late model once your bumper shocks are removed you may be need'in a hole saw.

Hey,
Mount your bumber and grills with the lights in place behind and mark the mount area with a Sharpy. You may need to shim it with a washer or two , but you got it bro. Add some rubber "o" rings or cut up some rubber for shock asborbing in between (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Steve |

When I backdated my 76 bumpers, there was no mount for my Pilots either. I made my own using a nut plate which I attached with a pop rivet. It works well.
