So I have mocked up the front end conversion (from 74 to 72). Worked out pretty well. Got the steel hood for free, but it's in pretty rough shape, but it'll do for now until I get a fiberglass hood. The right side fender lines up perfectly with with 72 headlight bezel but the left side fender/bezel lines up horribly. Not sure why. This may talk me into fiberglass fenders (any experience out there?).
Shown is an AAR fiberglass front bumper. Nice stuff. I removed 78 lbs just in the stock bumper and brackets!
I have the 74 front end for sale or trade if anyone is interested (hood, grille, bumper, bumper brackets, bumper extension filler piece, etc). Don't want to ship, but do want it off my shop floor. I removed it all in just 3 big pieces. It's all in really good shape other than the bumper.
