On my 72 Super the front bumper has a reinforcement beam behind the bumper. It goes from bracket to bracket and it bolted ot the brackets. I would like to get another one for the rear bumper. Anyone have one that they want to part with or know where I

... or know where I could get one? I haven't seen these advertised in the usual parts catalogs. I also think that they where a '73 only item.

Thanks,

I know that I wrote '72 Super above (by mistake) but it is a '73 Super that has this reinforcement beam.

I don't recall ever seeing this bar in the rear. I'm not sure if they were ever made. My '73 only had it in the front also.

Mine doesn't have the bar in the back either but I wanted to add one. It does seem to make the bumper safer. I was thinking that the front bar could me used for the back also, perhaps with some modifications to the brackets or whatever. That's why I wanted to locate one.
