Question about Sportwagon Bumpers

scrapman · 05-05-2007

I have a set of bumpers from a 74 or 75 Sportwagon. They are the big heavy safety bumpers. Can anyone tell me if either will fit a 74 or 75 Manta? The rear looks identical but not sure if the location of the mounts will match. The front bumper has that slight turnout after coming about halfway out from the center. Can't remember if my old '74 (May it rest in peace or hopefully someone's garage!) had that or if it was straight. Attached is a picture with the front bumper before it was removed from the Sportwagon

Believe they're the same, but I'm sure Gene in Atlanta will correct me if not so!!!

Rears are the same, fronts are different.

Thanks guys. I suspected that but knew I could get a confirmation here.
