If you look at my picture Ralph, that should help you out. There are no holes to drill. There is probably a chrome bolt in your bumper now, that you just remove and replace with the bumper guards.

That's exactly how they fit. I see they even fit on MEK's 72 front bumper.

Second photo is of a Challenger one on the left and a Dart one on the right. They are similar and they even take the same rubber guard(dart rears are the same rubber as front too)

Oh No! I bought a pair on ebay and had them rechromed. I tried to put them on when they came back and they did not fit perfectly. I probably bought the one's for a Dart. I will post a pic, Please  tell me I'm wrong!

Just beware there is a "right", and "left" bumper guard. I got befuddled the first time I tried to put them on.  :banghead:  :banghead:  :banghead:

I just looked at my guards. I guess they are for a Challenger. Is this correct?

lookd like a correct one. If the bumper has been straightened and is now a little thicker in the middle than it is supposed to be you may have trouble. I recall having to use the bolt to cinch the guard over the bumper.

Any chance to see the pictures of the bumper guards again for a 1971 Challenger and where they bolt up to?
