Yes they will.  You are going to want to move the bumper in closer to the body though.  You can do that by installing 70-72 rear bumper brackets or cutting your origonals...moving the bumper in, and rewelding the brackets.  You will also want to remove the 73-74 bumper fillers.  They are no longer needed when the bumpers are moved in.

If you don't move the bumper in, you will have a large gap between the bumper guard and the rear valence.

Here is a link to a moparts thread on this subject.  Good luck and post some pics when your done. :thumbsup:
