Quote: Scott, while you are there, why don't you drill a couple holes in the bumper brackets and move the bumper in. That way you can do away with the rubber bumper fillers. There are a couple square holes in the brackets that you can drill out to 5/8". That will allow you to move everything back to where the 70-72's were. I'm afraid that the bumper will look too far forward if you don't.
Thanks Darren. That's basically my plan. Do you mean the bracket to bumper or bumper to frame holes?. I was studying the brackets; even had the bracket to frame bolts out 'cept the rear ones so the bumper could hang down. Not sure how the brackets can slide back without hitting the radiator support where that split without some modification. Do you have any pictures?? Otherwise I was going to do just that; cut and refab the brackets. I can see that without the filler strips, the bumper will draw into the space nicely Couldn't get the screws out to take the strips off though. Heads rusted out and I dind't feel like breaking out the cut-off tool just then. Also, I may even weld and smooth over the bolts to the bumper so no heads are visible but still debating if I want painted or re-chromed bumpers. I've seen both and like both. Decisions, decisions
