Early bumpers are crazy expensive. Late bumpers are cheep, but they look terrible and weigh a ton. The last option is get a fiberglass racing bumper in about any style you could imagine. For a reasonable price. And a wieght reduction. Do that.

You can find an old school chrome plater. He would be able to rework the bumpers and rechrome them. I had mine done and they look great, but the guy that did them has passed on. He was real old school.

I don't have a front pic but mine has fiberglass.

You can always paint your bumpers, unless you prefer chrome. I like the matching body colored bumpers.

Here's a beautiful chrome bumper off a 73.

BOOBIES!

Had mine re-chromed a few times now, but dont think I have that option anymore.

Body colour bumpers. Only pic on harddrive at the moment, so please disregard the wheels. smile.gif

I like body-color bumpers. I'm bumperless right now because I took the heavy-pigs off my '75 and tried to give them to Craig. I still have the front, and will pay anyone $5 to come and take it away. biggrin.gif

I'm putting an early metal rear on (Thanks to John Kelly who gave me one!!!).

I'm looking for a good deal on a fiberglass front. I would love one like pictured below (photo from a recent thread here), but just a stock shaped one-piece would be great.

Fiberwerks makes a nice front. Also sold by Renegade.

Getty Design is one of the most respected brands out there because they are very well made and fit nicely. Some others take a lot of work to get them to fit right.

Here's mine. An early one.

How about a early front bumper with factory headlight washers? Not many of these 'cept in europe where required by law. DH

Well, it was 20 years ago I sourced the bumper top and nozzles...My factory parts guide book lists the parts as such....I even have a set for late style bumpers.

Chrome is the way to go..
You can't do this with fiberglass...
Rand
Marv, is that a Getty? Just wondering because the air cooler area looks like it but I didn't see one without fog light holes in their catalog. Looks great.
