Would someone be willing to trace their 78-79 bumper guard on to a piece of paper and then scan and email it. I'm curious if I could cut a set from 73-77 to fit. They seem to be cheaper and easier to find.

 

Unless you have some quality cutting equipment, the cutting process will damage the chrome plating. And even using a plasma cutter still might damage the chrome due to the heat and temp. I have one and I can trace and mail it you.

 

Hey mike, I have a pair of them here, they are not perfect though. If you want them you can have them for what it costs to ship them to you. I am in Ontario Canada. Where are you?

 

I'm just outside Atlanta. Can you send me a pic?

 

You don't need a template for bumper guards, as the holes are already there-used to bolt the bumper on.

Remove the bolts, place the threaded studs of the bumper guards (made as part of them) in the holes, then use nuts and washers.

They look the same, but looks can be deceiving.

1978: Two different types of bumper guards, because there are two different types of front bumpers: 1964/77 and 1978 before serial number AG,001.

1978 from serial number AG0,001 & 1979 (pic in post #1). You cannot use these guards on a 1978 before serial number AG0,001 (last 6 digits of the VIN) due to the shape of the bumper.

 

He knows there is a difference, he is needing a template to be able to make a 73-77 set ( easier and cheaper to find) work on a 78-79 bumper.

Template to know where to cut the cheaper and easier set to find.
