Bumper differences
Other than the parking/directional lights in the 1971-1972 bumpers are 1968 bumpers the same? Other than mounting brackets?
I was at a friends shop today and this question came up and I don't know the answer. Thanks

Re: Bumper differences
Yeap, I have early bumpers on my blazer to get rid of the marker lights in the bumper.

Re: Bumper differences
Thanks, I guess it would work both ways. The discussion was can you use a 1972 Bumper on a 1968 grill so as to not put the parking lights in the grill, leaving them in the bumper. In MA you must have parking/directional.
That looks clean.

Re: Bumper differences
I put a '71 bumper on my '69 so I could have 2 more parking/directional lights.
