Looks like I have the 72-74 brackets so can not mount my bumper.   My bumper has 4 bolt holes.  Am 95% sure I do not have any spare brackets. I looked at a 2017 post about this issue . The outer bracket sits out too far but fits the grill cutouts. Looks like I can slot the holes to get it to fit. Inner bracket needs major cutting and fabrication , it is straight band need it to bend toward middle of car.
My question are 70-71 cuda brackets the same as 70-71 Challenger brackets ? If so then I can ask  a friend if I can remove his bumper and brackets and use the brackets as a template.
Trouble living way out here is that parts not easy to source.
Thanks for any input.

NO they are not the same, similar but not the same. Reproduction brackets are available :alan2cents:
