Besides compromising it's identity as a '76, how hard is it to swap out bumper systems?

Check the classic threads. There is lots of info on this conversion.

Hi all. I'm looking for the same info. I looked in the "Lapuwali' classic threads but couldn't find anything. I don't really know how to use the reg search. I've put in 'bumper backdate' but nothing really specific came up. Are there any tricks to use to narrow a search? Thanks, Richard

I just back dated my 76 with a pair of early FG bumpers (tops molded in). You will have to drill new holes in the front & rear panels to accept stock early bumpers. You may have to remove the flanges that hold the late 75/76 rubber bumper covers to the body and plug the old heavy duty shock hardware holes. A pretty simple conversion.

Boxstr wrote a great thread about this. Maybe add his name to your search. It will answer all your Q's.

I recently completed a bumper backdate on my '75.
Pretty easy actually, take your time and Viola!
Search "Bumper Backdate" in one form or another and you should get some results. Excellent write-up!

GT style bumpers are a real nice option.

That's a decent looking bumper - who's the source? Did they require much modification to get them to fit?

Aha! Haven't searched much before. I put the search words in quotation marks and it worked like a charm. Thanks, R
