Mine's pretty rusty on the inside. Anyone have an extra they would like to sell or are there any reproductions out there?

Not sure where you are, but they are on EBay and Craig's list all the time.  Only difference between 71-2 and 3-4 is the brackets so 1-2 will work too.
Also I traded one into the chrome place when I have my stuff done.  He gave me a few bucks credit for it and he may still have it.  He said he was going to rechrome it and hang on to it if someone called and needed one.

Thanks. I'm a GM guy that picked up this '73 pretty cheap so Mopar is pretty new to me. So the chrome section of the bumper will work from a '71 or '72? Will it bolt right up to my '73 brackets or would it need modifications to fit?

will fit, but 71/72 bumper with 73/74 brackets will left a gap between body and bumper, since these doesn't have the provisions for the rubber bumper fillers. 71/72 bumper will require its own brackets to save this gap and get it closer to body.

Another diff is, if you get a 71, these doesn't have the provision for the bumper jack like 73/74 have, but easy to do, just making a small V cut undeneath the edge of Bumper. 72 bumper doesn't need that because they have the visible slot for it

Welcome to the Hard to live Mopar world. If you are strong enough and have stomach, will keep on this world... if not will keep being a GM guy LOL

and if you keep on Mopar world, will understand now why we are hard rock Mopar lovers, because is so hard! that makes us even more pride of our rides than Chevy and Ford guys LOL... WE SURVIVED TO THE MOPAR RESTO PROCESS LOL

( even worst, with a 73 and lates Mopar LOL )

I see no Mopars where I live. Can't wait to take it to a few local shows. Being the only one there, it should draw a crowd. I went to a monthly car show saturday night. Fords and Chevys were a dime a dozen. No Mopar. Can't wait.
