Anyone know where to find another set of '74 bumper shocks??

I killed my front 2 yesterday :cry: in a little fender bender (without the bending of the fenders)

Thanks

Salvage yard. Nobody repros them.

BTW... the 74-75 are different from the 76-79. And all 4 corners are different.

If it only compressed and didnt bent too much get a big hammer. Put a stack of washers or make a spacer to put under the bolt that holds the bumper on.

The 74 and 75 are a little different too. So bring yours with you to get the right one. How does your bumper look???/ any pics??

I always grab them when I see them at the swaps or yards.

My bumper is trashed, already in the garbage can. The right shock compressed far enough that the bumper was up against the fender with oil dripping from the shock. I don't think it bent, but I don't know if it is salvagable.
