70 bumpers

[rattlesnake]

I thought I read on here at one time that the bumpers on a 70 barracuda did not have the steel reenforcement plates inside the bumpers. Is this correct? Will the bumpers from a 73 cuda fit on a 70? what differences are there between the two?

if I remember correctly, 2 of 4 holes don`t match the brackets. They may have jack slots too.

I believe you need matching 70 brackets or drill your bumper to adapt to the bracket bolt location.

does anyone know about the steel reeinforcement plates inside the bumper on the 70. Are they supposed to be there or not?

I think the reinforcement plate started on 73s. I removed mine and mounted without.

No they are not supposed to be there. They were indeed introduced in 1973 model year.
