'73 bumper brackets on a '76 ?

Crazy ain't it? And mine's a scamp, that may have something to do with it also. And as I remember it now my front bumper came in the trunk so maybe the PO had already bought a 73 bumper?
I agree. No reason... LOL. Then again, it was '74, they didn't need a reason. My '74 is a Gold Duster, small bolt pattern wheels, no impact bumper on the front but one in the back, and the "space" Duster (fold down rear seat). Originally a slant car, but I swapped that out in 2016 :)
