65 Dart Rear Bumper on a 66?

[KevinB]

I like the look of the 65 bumper over the 66, is it a bolt on and go swap?

You may want to install taillights from a 65 as the backup lights are included in them instead of in the bumper as in the 66. Without them, you won't have reverse lights, which isn't a huge deal. You'd also probably want to install rear valance panel from the 65 since you'd have a large unsightly empty spot that the rear bumper on a 66 hides.

Yes I noticed the valance, hadn't thought about the tail lights. I'd probably install some in the bumper or valance

In '65 backup lights were an option. Not all tails lights will have the correct lens, and the car may not even be wired for the lights. I know my car wasn't.

I'm not switching to '65 tail lights, if anything I'll add reverse lights to the bumper or elsewhere

Yes, and I would love to.
