    Either run the fillers, or convert it to '72 back bumper brackets...

    Even though they are quite similar, the '72 bumper is different from the '73, and the '74 is different again.

    If your looking to fill in the gaps then buy the bumper fillers. Thats what they came with in '73-74. If you don't want the fillers and want to bring the bumper closer in, just buy the 1972 bumper brackets.... I'm pretty sure you can get new ones from AMD.
