Have a 74 monoco, will a 75 Monte Carlo back bumper be hard enough for the front of it being seam welded in a limited weld show that doesn't allow stuffed bumpers

Imo, it's to soft. Seam welding it will help but the front of a mopar is pretty hard and if that bumper starts to bend weird it will cause the frame rails to do some crazy stuff in front of the a-arms.

I do believe in the caddy thread someone said they are decent bumpers, and he wouldnt be afraid to run one on a caddy. Maybe im going crazy with age.
Rear should be very flat. I think that helps to an extent in terms of leverage. Any odd angle shots or bumpers collapsing are a chryslers worst nightmare. I think that with a flatter bumper those shots are a little more prone to happen. Atleast in my head that makes sense.
Any lighter build stuff 76-77 monte fronts I have come more to like. Corners are forgiving, center with some wire put in seems to hold up fine.

I see guys holding a roll of 9 wire contemplating how to make their bumper stronger.... lol Well usually I get the bumper and 9 wire in my garage, clear some space for the magic to happen, and then bang them together like one of these things. (I kinda look like that to, wierd). Boom. Super hard bumper.
