    get the stone gaurd, bumper, brackets, lower valence

    and then on the back get the bumper, brackets, rear valence, and the quarter panel extensions

    that should be everything you need to do the swap

    the stone guard is actually optional IMO, you can just trim back your 74 piece to fit since its "rubber". to use the 70-72 stone gaurd you either have to cut it or cut your fenders, both of which are steel

    like newtoford said get the endcaps or extensions and there will also be two little cone like things that are behind the bumper at each end. :thumbs2:

    True, but still worth something to somebody. I was happy to find my '73 bumper with no trim on it. See sig pic below. There are a few '73 fans on the boards. I like all years myself.

    Also, do a search on converting to small bumpers. There are positives and negatives on using the rubber stone guard on a small bumper conversion.
