Are you talking about moving it in by using the 70-71 brackets, or cutting and fitting to suck it right up to the body?

It's going to be more or less trial and error.  Take some measurements and cut enough out of the brackets to get the bumper in as far as you want, thenit's just a matter of trimming the valence and quarters to get the look you want.  If you want to save yourself a ton of work and just get the look of the 70/71, all you need to do is buy a set of 70/71 brackets, and everything will bolt right up.
