    I would like to know a little more about it, i believe the guy says it has a 296? it has one dent but the paint is original with the grabber badges and everything, but I would like to do something with the big bumpers, any idea's?

    Well it either has a 200,250, or 302 if it is factory. You can slide in the bumpers or do a small bumper conversion.

    Im sorry but I have never done any mods before, how would I slide in the bumper, I know its a dumb question, was baby blue and white a factory color?

    Well since its a all original 74 grabber i would keep it in the original paint and original. If you must you can slide in the bumper. Never done it so i cant give you my expert opinion but you should be able to search and find it on the forum. :thumbs2:

    Cheak out the search on this forum, several have converted back to the small bumper with great results It is all a bolt on if I understand right, just need the bumpers, brackets,valances and the caps around the lights in back, I think you have to notch out a small place on your front fenders as well, it is a nice ,easy swap if you can find the parts you need, tucking in the big bumpers is also a great mod imo and is easier since you already have all the parts you need, Welcome to the board!
