Is it possible to use a 71-72 chrome front bumper on a '73? It seems like a simple swap but I could have sworn I read somewhere that it wasn't possible. Could anyone please confirm? Thanks

If they are listed with different part numbers it is safe to assume that they are............different.

I am almost positive that the 73 fenders were different in the bumper area, making this swap difficult.
