Disapointing bumper..

do you have the bumper filler panel in with it?

 

No.. does that go on top or under?

 

this is on a bigger bumper car but it shows what i'm talking about.
its the gray part that actually tucks just a little ways into the bumper

 

I think I have that piece for a small bumper front. It's steel. I thought he was talking about the rear tho...

 

oh i didnt know i needed those, i havnt gotten to the front problem yet lol. thats to come tomorrow though. I just really wanna get the back squared but it seems like im going to have to sell these off and buy right ones?

 

oh i thought you were talking about the front. well your gonna need one of those though

 

Alright shouldnt be a prob. already thinking of a way to rig it up cause i ahve the big ones left over i can cut down, think it would work?
Back to the back lol, Is it supose to hang over the edge?
and i also had the problem of bolting it up, do i have to put the bracket on then mount the bumper?

 

The rear is the same I think. It will have a slight gap between the body and the bumper. Maybe look at some pics real close before you give up, unless the other guy had something different to start with.

 

if its too wide then you dont have mav/comet bumpers but if it seems like it just sits away from the tail panel then you can tuck it in with different small peices below the quarter extensions. my bumper has been tucked towards the body

 

Can you see to the ground when looking down the gap between the body and the bumper? There is a lip on the body that just barely goes into the bumper (but it does not touch) if I remember.

 

I couldnt bolt it up cause i ran into the problem of having to take the brackets off and figured it was just the wrong one. but tomorrow im ganna dig into it, i got really disapointed but now im excited again thinking it will work out!
but the bumpers throug the years never changed? so this bumper weither its a 70-73 should fit on a 74-77 model?

 

1973 back bumpers didnt change in size they just were pushed out from the tail panel a little bit

 

heres a pic of mine after i tucked it

my 74 has 69.5-72 bumper brackets and fits like mattericks does.
