i plan on eventually putting a shaker hood scoop and the 72 front end back on it and tail lights those leds make me want to puke lol
 
it might just be the angle of the pictures but that back bumper looks like a 74 modded to sit up close to the tail panel
 
that front also looks like they just changed the bumper grill and hood. Seems like the lower filler piece is the 70-72 style. You might get lucky when swapping to a early front end you might just need a hood grill and bumper.

If thats the case black out the hood and you wont have to worry about matching paint :)
 
I checked the rear bumper its the right one and yes its just front bumper hood and grill the grill is all getto cut to fit in and it still has the 72head lightbezles so it looks horrible nothing lines up and I was thinking about the black hood its definitely what I'll do tell I can afford to repaint
 
this is what i want im going to do to the front itll be acouple grand inless i get lucky but ive never seen it done and i think it looks awesome only took me 4 min of photoshop lol

It has a 73 up hood, bumper, and grille. 1972 down headlight bezels and trim piece under grille.
Guy did a hack job mounting the grille lookin at the pics.
Hope you find a bumper, grille, hood, and tailpanel.
A shaker would look pretty cool
 
so had to get a new battery putting it in, the starter and 20w-50 oil today we will see if my oil pressure is better then ill be just driving it again intell jan ill be buying the master rebuild kit uping the cam and some better pistons also found a 72 in a local wreckers and he is selling me the hood, grill,bumper and tail lights for $335 seen a few A body consoles and bucket seats think ill talk him into making a deal on also only thing left to do to finish it will be the shaker and a repaint im sooooo excited jan needs to hurry up lol
 
Looks like a good deal for $800.00. I agree with the tail lights. Tacky, very tacky. Good to hear you've found parts. What part of Washington do you live? I have two sons that live there. looking forward to seeing progress on this one.:coffee2:
 
I live by Vancouver area and Yea I'm glad it isn't rusted bad and turned out to be a72 I got it on the road again yesterday and took a few more pics of stuff I've done sence I got it exhaust and traction bars what I'll post later
