Yes they will bolt right up, same brackets. 73-74 is completely different.

As others have stated the 70-71 style bumpers will bolt up to a 1972 model

However, as an FYI - as usual the 1970 is a one year only part. For 100% factory correct parts the 1970 bumpers have details that are different from the 1971 bumpers.

Also all years 70-71-72 use a different corner bumper rubber piece even though there is only one reproduction offered as correct for all years

What are these 70 and 71 Challenger differences? A late 71 will have slotted 72 bumpers.

Also what are the part numbers on the "other" corner fillers?

There are four different front bumpers on a 1971 Challenger and three different rear bumpers on a 1971 Challenger over the production year.

The 71 bumpers have no jack slots. I slid the 73 front bumper brackets rearward and used 72 rear brackets on my 73. It has 71 bumpers. (also a 70 grille).

Yes 1971 Front and Rear Bumpers do have the slots in both the front and rear bumpers starting in June of 1971.

Front Bumper Time Frame Parts book number 13-64-3

August of 1970 to February of 1971 was one front bumper.
February of 1971 to June of 1971 was another time frame for a front bumper.
June and July of 1971 was another front bumper that had slots for the Jack.
You also have the rubber bumpers in 1971 on Challenger the only year.

Rear Bumper Time Frame Parts book number 13-66-3

August of 1970 to June of 1971 was one rear bumper.
June and July of 1971 rear bumper had slots for the Jack.
Also there was a Ruber Bumper on a Challenger in 1971 and 1971 only.

Cool stuff but what are the differences?

I have 5 1970 Challengers and 2 1971 Challengers. One of the 71s is a rubber bumper car.

Would like to know the exact differences in the non-slotted bumpers.

You seldom get enough 1971 Challengers in one spot unless at a bigger Mopar show. Someone in the business of stripping and selling parts might be able to tell you the differences between the front bumpers from 1970 to the first bumper put on a 1971 Challenger. Maybe they are the same but different part numbers. What is the difference between the first bumper in 1971 and the second bumper Feb to June. The last front bumper has the slots, is it the same as the second front bumper but has slots. I have an early built 1971 Challenger and a late built 1971 Challenger with the slots. Is the last slotted bumper on a 1971 Challenger the same as an early 1972 Challenger Bumper. Why change just the front bumper half way through the 1971 Year and not the back bumper. The last change in 1971 to the slotted bumper is to prepare for the 1972 model year. My Late built 1971 Challenger has lots of the 1972 changes on it.

OK - I'll check out all my cars and see if I can spot the differences

I am also going to look in the parts book to see if any other parts of the bumper system have a Break Point date in February of 1971. I only know of one other Challenger close to me that is built between February and June but it has had rubber bumpers added. Need to see a Challenger built in that time frame to compare with the Challengers I have.

I used AMD front and rear bumpers on my 72 Challenger.
They fit and look great.

All my sheetmetal is AMD.
I bought one Goodmark piece and it didn't fit very well so I have stuck with AMD all the way through my project.
