I need the actual sheet area in the picture, I have the extensions that fit into them.

I’ve got a 74 and I would like to swap out for 73 rear end, I’ve got everything to do it but these pieces
The pieces that bolt in there are Quarter Extensions. The pieces you need are Tail Panel Extensions, I think.
The factory parts manual says "rear panel outer extensions".
Those are different between 73 and 74?
I forgot about the change in 74 with the lights and all.
I'm sitting here thinking, been there done that! Then realized it's my car, lol.
You'll have to do a little fab work, the earlier center tail panel doesn't fit the 74 trunk floor perfectly.

yes lol ive been looking for a good image to explain what ive been looking for and you had the perfect picture! I seen the fab work you had to do on your post and it doesnt seen all that bad at first look. If you have any helpful tips anything would be appreciated!
It's not hard, but it is time consuming. Clamping, eyeballing, adjusting. What my pictures don't show is the box full of C clamps and vise grips that I used to mock the center section up. The sides pretty much position themselves. And luckily I had my son's 73 Scamp to take measurements off of in the center. But it sort of just centers itself up also. I went off of measurements, bolt holes and old paint lines, really. Wire wheel and sand disc everything clean before you weld. Don't forget the weldable primer! Good luck, man! It was actually fun, post up pics of your progress!

Assuming it would work for a 73 bumper yeah I would be, I think I actually bought the tail panel I have now from you? I can’t remember it was a few years ago now. I didn’t realize I needed the end pieces too lol.
