I want to move the front bumper in on my 73 cuda because I don't like the gap between the bumper and grill.

I have a set of front bumper brackets available to me from a 1972 Barracuda. My question is, will the 1973 front bumper bolt directly onto the 72 brackets or do I need the front bumper from a 72 as well?

I know I can modify the 73 brackets and move the bumper in that way but I'd rather put on the correct brackets and bumper if needed.

Thanks.

Will require a 1970-72 Bumper as well...unless I think the outer bolts are in the same location so you could just use two bolts  :alan2cents:

Thanks guys, looks like I'll be ordering a new front bumper.

Another quick question for you guys.

I just found out I need to replace the rear valance on my car. I'll be changing to the 72 rear bumper as well and I see that the rear valance for a 72 is different than for a 73. Should I just be ordering a rear valance for a 72?  :notsure:

Again, thanks for all the help!

The rear valance should be the same, if not it's definitely interchangeable
