part numbers, I need verification
« on: July 18, 2016 - 01:42:40 AM »
Hello, I have some E body bumper brackets and need to verify what they are for. On line searches are giving mixed info. Here is what I have, front bracket 2962330 and 2962331, these are only one of each side  of the four. The internet says 70-72 cuda, but they look like 70-74 challenger based on image on AMD website for bumper brackets.  Rear brackets, 3686558, 3686559, internet says 73 cuda only?

I am looking for front and rears for all E bodies other than what I have here to make fixtures for the production of aluminum bumpers brackets. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the info, I suspected these are for a challenger. Do you know the years of coverage ? I see some ebag ads for 70-74 for example.

the parts list only shows 71 I don't know if they  carried over to later years.

It's not as simple as saying 70-74 Challenger.  70 to 72 I believe are the same.  They were changed in 73 because of the 5mph bumpers.  They were changed again in 74.  74's resemble the 70-72 brackets but hold the bumper out farther from the body.  IIRC the 73 Challenger brackets resemble the Cuda pieces.  They aren't just a single thick strap of steel bent to shape.  The 73 brackets are a thinner stamped part.

This picture shows the 73 Challenger bracket on top.

So...70-72. 73. 74. This info is what I am trying to clarify. Thank you.  I have a 73 challenger available to borrow brackets. I will need to find 74.

NOBODY is going to but aftermarket bumper brackets for 73-74 bumpers. If they're customizing their 73-73 E Body, the first thing they do is change to 70-72 style brackets :2cents:

I just wanted to clarify...my post was in reference to REAR hangers.  The front definitely changed in 73.  74 fronts could possibly be the same as 73's.

Also, early 1970's used an extra bracket on each side(front) to hold the rubber end caps in place.  I think they did away with those early on...not sure though.
