Full Version: Front valance fitment
Will a front valance off of a 1974, fit on a 1975?
I have both and I don't think they will. I can take pictures tomorrow so you can see but from what I remember, they are different.

If you are backdating the bumper it should work just fine.
If you are running the 75 bumper I believe you may have some issues, its been years since I had a 75 bumper off a car though so i may be wrong. Chassis underneath the bumpers are for the most part the same though once the 75 bumper shocks are removed.

Ah, good catch @JamesM that would explain the difference I see between my two cars. I wasn't taking the bumper difference into consideration (it was late)
@partwerks , I can still send pictures if you're interested.
I asked the question of a gentleman that has worked on them for years, and he said:
absolutely yes. all years including 914/6
absolutely yes. all years including 914/6
