Rear guard looked about the same. 4653077-DCP_5519.jpg (80 downloads) 72 Satellite Sebring Plus 440, 72 Dart 5.9 4-spd, 68 Valiant, 73 W200, 78 D100 sb, 78 D200, 98 DAKOTA, .

I've got a rear 72 bumper that a guy give me for the brackets and stuff that has bumper guards on it, but they encircle the taillight openings. I'd still like more info on the front piece.....and how rare/common it is.

The 72 rear guard was abit more common. Had 4 of them and a few spare bumpers. 72 Satellite Sebring Plus 440, 72 Dart 5.9 4-spd, 68 Valiant, 73 W200, 78 D100 sb, 78 D200, 98 DAKOTA, .
