While getting the interior and other small parts
from the 73 Maverick LDO I grabbed the upper and lower quarter extensions, small
rear bumper and mounts. I knew
the 74 bumper was heavy but how heavy preyed on my mind. The next day I got out
the bathroom scales to satisfy my curiosity, it weighed 54 lbs without the
bolts, guards or mounts. I'm sure it would tip the scale over 95 lbs with the
mounts. The small bumper weighed in at 16 lbs with mounts. (No wonder the gas
mileage dropped around the mid 70's.) Other than drilling new holes and filling old holes
it's a bolt on job. I used an extra bumper bolt
I had lying around to fill in the hole in where the bumper guard was bolted to
the '73 bumper. Frank came
through like always with the needed rear valance to complete the small rear
bumper swap. I since changed to '71 Grabber spoiler
and extensions.
