Duster Bumper cut ?

If it has the shock type bumper mounts then you can bring it in more flush. Your car should have them if it is a 76.

If you look under the car at your B mounts and they are big round cylinder. You have the shock type mount. First drill a hole into the shock so the fluid in side can drane out. Then you should be able to push the bumper in where you want it. After that weld the holes you drilled back up to lock the bumper back in place.


I have seen this done before and I think it looks a lot better that way and you can also toss the junky looking plastic bumper filler panel. And best of all it does not cost any thing to do. Good luck.
