The 73 grill mounting screw locations, hood latch braces, and headlight setup were very different. You'll have to find 73 headlight doors, which are NOT available new, too. The bumper difference is the least of your problems. It would be WAY easier just to get a 71-72 grille. You're looking at a couple hundred for one new in the box, standard or mach1, and of course they can be found used, too. If you already have the 73 grille, sell it and use the cash toward one that actually fits. This change is more work than you think, it's not like it just has different style ribs around the horse emblem.
