All you fine people here helped me with my dash questions, now I have a bumper question. I love the old bumpers from the mid to late 60's, I have heard them called Towel bumpers, US Spec bumpers, Top Rail bumpers, I don't know exactly what they are called, you have the bumper then a rail on top and you have the over riders connecting them. My question is, I have a 70 bug will those type bumpers fit with no drilling or welding, can I remove my bumpers and add the others with no extra work? Thanks for all the help guys, you guys have been very helpful.

You can "adapt" them to fit but you'll need to modify the brackets.

The good news is since you modify the brackets the car body is untouched.
