front bumper difference

Can anyone tell me if there is a bolt pattern difference between a 73 front bumper and a 79?

No bolt pattern difference, just in appearance.

I thought but wanted to make sure before buying a 79 push bar. The bumper is off a 73. thanks,

Now that may be a different story. The bolt patterns the same, but the 79 pushbar may not fit the 73 bumper. Is this a stock pushbar? If so, than you'd need a 78-79 bumper. The 73-77 has more of a rounded appearance and the 78-79 is more squared off.

Thanks for the reply. I have an 86 on it now and don't care for the miss match. If I can get it for a reasonable price I'll see if i can make it work. Looking at it if the bolts line up it doesn't have the contour of the shape of the bumper.
