71-72 rear bumper brackets
« on: March 22, 2016 - 06:11:25 AM »
Will the bumper brackets from a 71-72 challenger fit my 73? I'm trying to move the bumper closer to the body so I won't need to user the filler pieces. I was able to move the front bumper closer to the body by slotting the mounting brackets. Thanks

Brackets:
Yes to the car.
No to your 73 bumper. Later bars now bolt to the heavy crash bar instead of the actual bumper. You will need early bumper also if you intend to use factory pieces.
Just moved the rear in on my 74. Check out my thread in the resto mod section. I detailed my setup.
Others have just cut and welded their original brackets to adjust them.
