[QUOTE="purpledog07, post: 641617, member: 22687"] I'm pretty sure the chassis mounting holes are the same, The '72 only bumper irons are longer as they bolt through the bumper and not to a plate inside. They will be a different angled bend for height and to clear the valance too. Agree with Ozziedog, if the bumper or iron got damaged and there was nothing availabe at the time, what you have may have been the best, cheapest or only option without refurbing old parts. These vans predate forums or the internet, options were much more limited back in the day. The bumper on mine is totally wrong, but it's only obvious if you know what it should be. It might stop the bus getting damaged by parking fools for now though. I'll sort it out one day, but chassis and sill welding take priority for now. [/QUOTE]
