74 to 70-72 bumper swap???

Post by Cdub74 on Tue Nov 02, 2010 11:51 am

i finally bought this 1974 chevelle Laguna S3 ive been saving for three years for. Im not a huge fan of the rubber bump stops, any way I could bolt up a older style bumper from another chevelle? Would they fit? I want to change the fornt and rear.

CDub to get the other bumpers to work on your car you have to completely remove the one piece laguna front end ( NOSE NOT FENDERS ) for its a urethane covered steel housing and would have to purchase the whole seperate assy NOT hard to find and easy to reinstall

Where are you located? I have everything you need. for a chrome bumper set up.

All 73-77 Chevelles & Malibus had chrome bumpers other than the Laguna models which had urethane front ends like Limey stated. Also, the 70-72 models are a completely different animal than the 73-77 Chevelles. Hardly anything interchanges with them.

I think what you are after is this...




That a '73 chevelle/El Camino front. You have to change the whole nose, less the fenders, But I don't think you will have trouble selling the old parts. Wink

Ummm...... guess no one read my posts above on all Chevelles having turn signals in the bumpers?

Here's my 76:






Malibu Classics got the quad headlights, but in case you want to see one:




Oh yeah..... I like the 73 Elky BTW. Wonder how much work that took to do?
