Hi All,
Looking desperately for a 73 front bumper after mine got damaged in an accident through no fault of my own. Looking to ship to the UK via my repair company and funded via insurance. Its the wrap around style. Otherwise insurance company will possibly write her off on un economical repair grounds which would be a shame. Any steers / leads appreciated

John Steady may have one off of a 73 Ranchero. Are your bumper push guards still in good shape?
Otherwise try Tyler Martin on FB. He has parted out several 73 Torino's and may have one. |

nick, i just looked the 73 bumper i have has the rub strip holes all along it for what shipping will cost for something that big it should be less money to have yours rechromed generally they press out the dents as part of the process and yours dont look gouged so it should be able to be straightened and rechromed!!! i bought a core 73 for my car it had 3 dents and creases in it they fixed it and chromed it triple plated for $450, i think its now about $600? but i'll bet shipping like smog said would be more and most used ones will need chromed anyway so adding those costs together plus whatever someone will want for the bumper will probably be 2 or 3 times the cost to redo yours i'd think

Hi John,
My bumper guards are good just looking for the main bumper that's in decent shape with or without the rubber strip as I now know there were two styles but either would work. I take it you can still get the rubber strip new in the US ? I possible have a shipper Nick.

it's a shame the owner of that private yard passed away a few years ago, as they crushed all the cars up there that's where i got my front bumper from and there were a bunch of 73's there

Did you ever find a good bumper? I have one like yours without strip option. I will have to take another look at it and see what condition its in.
