Cross over rear bumper

[Ryan67]

Hi the rear bumper on my 1972 cross over van is shot full of rot and filer do they make a replacement ?

I don't think anyone does. I got an original one from FBI a few years ago. Not cheap mind you. I have heard of people using early rears and making some kind of plate on the inside to adjust the offset of brackets - sort of a metal bar drilled to fit crossover brackets and then drilled to meet holes in ealry bumper of you see what I mean. Could perhaps even use a fireglass repro that way?

Ive got the opposite problem to you lol as I have a cross bumper to fit a normal early bay

Normal early bay bumper will do, just redrill the mounting holes and either weld up or put stickers on the old holes.

The little valance at the bottom can be made from sheet metal.

Or you can have mine for free if you pay postage/handling as a rough template :lol:

Currently in the wheely bin but they haven't emptied it yet :lol:

There you go Ryan, get yourself an Early bumper and do a swap with Webbaldo!

Another option if you are flexible. Got one myself and very pleased with the quality
