I just got a 73 maverick and i love it but i can only find big ugly bumpers any one know where i can get the small bar looking one?
Post an ad in the wanted section. Plenty of cars get parted out everyday. Your 73 actually uses the medium size bumper. You can easily swap in an early 69-72 style if you want.
Welcome to the board! Like stated above, 73 uses a one-year-only front bumper. They look pretty good, too if you do a bumper tuck ... do a search on that, plenty of examples here. You can also swap to a pre-73 small front bumper. Your rear bumper is the same as 70-72, but with different hardware that moves it out a bit. It is possible to reverse that, too if you like. You would need the earlier quarter panel end caps and little filler pieces. As far as locating a bumper, board members here can fix you up. Also, if you are anywhere near some of the big swap meets, there is a California company called "The Bumper Boys" that travel the country. You can pre-order a bumper and they will have one for you. I have heard mixed results about them, so go into that with your eyes open. Some folks have been fine with them, others dissappointed. Anyway, greetings! Lots of help here.
I'm one of the guys that would never buy from Bumper Boyz again. Too high, poor customer service, and won't back up their products. Spend $700 for two small bumpers they should last longer than three years. And this car stays inside a garage 98% of its life. Will never get another penny from me.
I live in South East Missouri in the elbow of the boot heel and my maverick is the only one i have ever seen in person!
