    :Welcome: from Northeast Pennsylvania

    Front valences from 70 to 72 are the same and fit the small front bumper - rear valences from 70 to 73 should be the same for the small rear bumper. In 73 the front bumper was now a mid sized bumper while Ford kept the small bumper at the rear for one more year :)

    If you are familiar with older Mustangs, then you will be familiar with the Maverick - mostly the same type of construction (y)

    Thanks all info I can get helps,also since original grabber spoilers are so hard or expensive,has anyone tried the aftermarket set that sells for about150? How's the fit OK? And thanks for the welcomes.
