    I'm trying to get the mav back on the road again it's a72 grabber but it had a 73 bumper and all so i'm trying to find out what all i will need to go back like it was with the small bumper all i have are the bumper brackets and the piece that goes under the bumper. Is that called the valance? and what is difference between a 72 and a73 if any? ican't aford a bumper just yet so i was thinking about a fiberglass one what do you guys think wheres the best place to look for one?

    '72 and '73 bumpers are different, including brackets.

    if you are just looking to get it on the road, you can find a not-so-shiny small front bumper on the forum and paint it. you can re-chrome it later.
