72 or 73 rear bumper??

Postby nutt » Wed Aug 27, 2014 10:51 pm

So I picked up a '73 wagon rear bumper, or so I was told. It's a little different than mine off the '72 wagon. the slots go vertical vs. the '72, which run horizontal.

Can anyone verify which is which and also, is there a difference in the wagon vs. hatchback/coupe?

The one on the left is 71-72, and the right is the 73 only.

All of these bumpers fit 71-73 of any model (Kammback, Hatchback, Notchback).

'73 has the vertical slot for the new style jack that was introduced that year. '72 used the old shoe jack that hooked underneath and looks cleaner to me without the visible slots..
'72 is on the left, '73 is on the right..
