Bumpers

[Luke Wells]

^^ No. Although I'm not a huge fan of 76 Impala/Caprice bumpers, they are still much better than 76/77 Montes.

74/75 Montes are within 1 or 2 of the top of the bumper list.

74-76 Monte bumpers are really hard seam welded. Friend has one with several runs on it and still straight and not showing signs of bending. Leave the 77s only. Id rate the Monte bumpers with the 74 impala but a lil better.

74-75 Montes are the same. 76-77 are the same.

I don't have any pictures but if you see one there is no other bumper like it. They look similar to a 77-79 tbird but have an extra piece welded on the back.

They look nothing like a 77/79 third. The elite bumpers are in a class beside there self. Flat back thicker than other Ford's and the center of it is pointed smaller point than a Chrysler but more than a 74 impala. The ends look the same as other 74+ Ford's but has a point in middle. The torino bumper chrome looks kinda like a 74 impala the elite bumpers are just thick in the center. The ends are bout 8-10 inches thick from backing to chrome the center is like 16 inchs. U know it if u see it

I meant they have tall bumper guards and a point not like most ford bumpers. They are thicker which I said.

Just like hitmhard said the 74 and 75 monte are not the same. Look same from the front but build with different stuff on the back side. 74 are better than 75

I like them but I don't run full size. Most guys throw them away.

What would be the best material to load an 80s Vic front bumper with on a stock frame? Want to keep it a little soft
