Bumper brackets
« on: March 12, 2007 - 02:47:40 PM »
Are all front challenger bumper brackets the same throughout the years? or did they change with the later bumpers?

The '72s have 2 bolt to frame holes & the '73 have 3 and are longer. I know because I have a '73 car with '72 brackets.

The 73-74 has a different bolt pattern on the front of the bracket.  Here is half of a 73-74 (longer) beside a (shorter) 70-72 bracket.
