Bumper and brackets
« on: July 30, 2006 - 01:32:11 PM »
Will the bumper and brackets from a 1972 Challenger fit on a 1973 Challenger without alterations?

Yes. The bumpers are the same.  The 73-74 brackets are drilled differently to hold the bumpers further out and use filler pieces to take up the gap.  The 72 brackets will make the 73 look cleaner. :thumbsup:

the 72 bumper brakets move the bumper in tight to the grille so the fill panels can be removed , it looks a lot cleaner this way
