    I need to replace the rear bumper on my 75 Grabber, there is a set at the local bone yard but they have bumper guards and black protector strips on them, did the grabber ever come with those, also does someone just have a nice rear bumper, Marty

    Large. Anything after 73 is large bumpers. 73 was the transition year.

    If you're just wanting to replace it because of the small ding next to the license plate you should be able to have it straightened at a chrome shop if you prefer to keep the original bumper.

    Marty...

    ...I think the pads and rubber strips were an option.
    I offered my old '74 bumpers to anyone on the MMB
    for free several times, with no takers.

    I switched to '73 bumpers. Mine were straight chrome
    bumpers and only the front bumper had guards.
    The rear was near perfect.

    I tossed them in a metal recycle bin over the summer.
    Sorry!

    Again, a very nice car. Unfortunately, I only have new bumpers left that use the trim strips for the latter Mavs. If you did want one, I'll let you have one real cheap...for a fellow Mav brother.
