73 Front Bumper

Need one that's not rusted and cracked up like mine.
Well....I cleaned up the rust but still the chrome is cracked up.

Thanks!

 

As long as it mounts up ok I'll take a 74 -76 bumper in good condition.

 

I believe 74-76 front bumper is different, there is a dip under the front grill if i remember correctly that the 73 doesnt have

 

73 is definitely different than 74-76. The mounting brackets are not the same. I made that mistake a number of years ago.

 

Ok..thanks guys....guess I need a 73 only, makes it tougher to find.
What about Powder Coating a bumper? Any of you ever done that? I think a Powder Coat would look like polished aluminum like my wheels, not as shiny as chrome but still shiny.

 

What I've learned about 'chrome' powder coating is that it falls somewhere between silver paint and true chrome.

 

What about chrome wrap? dunno how long it would last, but sure is shiny

 

Ah...never thought about a wrap...only thing is the front bumper has a lot of cracks in the chrome and I don't know if the wrap can be applied smooth enough?

 

You would probably have to strip and paint the bumper first, durability would be my concern, just a thought.

 

I think you're right.
