Swapping Bumpers...What's all got to be done?
 

The body shop bent my front bumper on my 70, but in a way it's good because I want to swap over to the 71-72 bumper. So they bought one for me to replace the one they bent. What else is needed besides the lights that are needed. I thought somewhere I read that the bumper sits offset on the 67-70's

thanks

Not sure about everything needed, but I think the wiring harnesses are different. You may need to lengthen the signal light portions. Someone here will give you to specifics.

I have a set of 71/72 light assemblies for your new bumper if you need them. PM me if interested.

The outer mounting bracket I know is different (to clear the lights). I cannot remember if the inner brackets are the same or not. As already mentioned, you will need to modify/change your current wiring harness to have the turn/park lights in the bumper. I think that is it.

Inner brackets are the same.
Outer brackets are different between 71-72 and 67-70.
Wiring will work with no mods needed. It will reach to plug into the lights.

Thanks Guys I'll look for some outer brackets on the parts board.

Hey Tx...longtime no hear/see. Welcome back to posting.

Sorry to rip off your thread yellow69.

:agree: :phat: :welcoem:

No problem Bill, I was kind of wondering the same thing. Hadn't heard from him in a long time. How's that dually coming along Tx?

The dually is going to be Matt67350's in a week or two. I had some real tough times that kept me off my feet for a few months so not any real progress on it.

No worry though, because I'm building a 64 Suburban right now for my rehab therapy till I can go back to work.

Did you get hurt at work?

Yep, exploded a knee and leg. I got me a new titanium super knee now. The scar will keep me from ever being a Brad Pitt body double in Holywood though.

i replied to your topic in the parts board.
