‘74 model year started with shock mounted bumpers front and rear. Due to a production or supply issue they switched back to non-shock mounted bumpers in the front sometime in December ‘73. The remaining production ‘74 model year kept the non-shock front and the shock mounted rear, with threaded mounts in the front frame rails for both the shock mounted and non-shock mounted bumpers. So if you want to convert your ‘74 to an earlier front end, one produced between January’74 to July when production ended is much easier :thumbsup:
