    I may be getting a 75' maverick and was wondering how hard it was to change the big bumbers to small bumbers

    heres a pic of my 75 with the small bumper

    forgot to mention the hard part, which is getting a pair of small bumpers(also have to get filler panel,brackets and valences) in good condition

    they can be easally rechromed for around $300

    there are others things you have to do but there not hard try doint a search
