    @timachone @vintageman Guys, I did it , 71-72 bumper on a 73 , no need to change fenders or brackets. We fabbed up some rough brackets to mount the chrome bumper onto the 73 arms,  All credit to my panel shop for coming up with this . We will fab a filler panel under the grill to close the gap,
