Tonights progress ....

Front bumper install !!!! Sanded the 72' bumper I got off of Timberwolf down tonight , gave it a coat of my favorite color and got it mounted !!! 2 questions though.... is there a difference between front bumper brackets 70' vs. 72' ??? My 70's are about 3" short of reaching the outer holes in the 72' bumper .. the other question..... what should I mount in the turn signal holes of the bumper since they weren't needed ..... anybody did anything creative ???

There are some differences. I just had this conversation, but I don't remember the details. looks good by the way.
A guy I know mounted some fog lights in those holes.

Re: Tonights progress ....

Yes the 71/72 bumper brackets are different due to the turn signal placement in the bumper. You need 71/72 outer brackets to mount it correctly. You can move the turnsignals to the bumper and run fog/driving lights in the grill or mount driving lights in the bumper.

Re: Tonights progress ....

On my '68, I'm going to run a 71/72 bumper. I'm going to install factory style clear lenses, then run a cheap driving light behind it.

I actually thought about that for stopping at the end of the 1/4 mile..... don't know if it would really help since it's not constant....
