How diifferent are the 70 vs 73 swinger rear bumpers, in other words can the 70 bolt up to the 73 brackets, if so what other issues may come up. I am going to fiberglass ones and I like the 1970 look. Thanks in advance.
 
I don't know whether it would bolt up (although it probably would) but proper '70 tail lights can be hard to find in nice shape.
 
70 was an odd ball bumper the 71 to 72 will bolt up but the tail lights are different.
 
Here is what a 70 bumper looks like.

73 lights are the same as 71/72 (4 light assembly's vs the 70 2 light assembly). How different is the bumper itself as they physically look the same except for the lights. I can locate the assembly's but need to know if it can be done since I have gotten different information, I know that 71-73 are the same and I can't see the mopar would have made that much of a change in one year, has anybody done this, I believe the scamp model used this bumper past 1970.
 
Must of made the 5 MPH bumper change in 74. Sorry I was thinking the change was in 73.

A 70 bumper will fit a 73. the only difference is a 70 only has 2 tail lights and a 73 has 4.

Here is what I was asking, the scamp used this style in 73, it appears that they are the same physical shape from what I can see, does anybody have these bumpers lying around to see if they are dimentional the same, thanks for the help so far.These are both 1973 vehicles.

I believe the Scamp bumper is the same as the 70 Dart, but the tail light lenses are slightly different. The pattern on the lens is different.
 
That blue car is a 70 Dart. I don't know about 72 or 73 scamps but I do know the 71 scamp had a 70 Dart bumper.
 
Thanks it looks like I will go ahead, I do believe the scamp lights are different but I figured the rear of the 70 to 73 was the same as it would make no sense for Dodge to retool the rear of the car after one year.
 
My frind had his 71 scamp parked next to my 70 Dart. They are the same. I tolled him I was going to steel his tail light because they were so much nicer than mine. LOL
