3 Piece vs 1 Piece Bumper Mounting

[jasonthomasfrance]

Is there any difference in mounting between the 3 piece bumpers and the 1 piece bumpers on the late 70's Waggies?

I'll go look right now. I have a '70 stock bumper on the wagon and a '76 chero bumper in the back.

Sorry, both 3 piece, they are both the same except for the rubber stripping. 2 L brackets for each side coming directlt off the front of the frame and about a 1 1/4" bar bent at 45 degrees going back alonge the side of the frame on each side.

Yes, they are different, or were on mine at least. If you go from 1 to 3 it's not so bad, have to cut off the mounts past the front x-member. I don't think going the other way would be so easy, as the mounting horns are absent... :(

Langdon: Are the mounts on the frame the same? Or do you think they are totally different in the way the mount up to the frame? Holes different too?

Hmm... I may have some work cut out for me...

IIRC the 1 piece only bolts thru the frame extensions, you would have to make those...so yes it is totally different :mad:

Jason,
A couple of questions for you about the herculiner you rolled on.
How long does it takes to set up?
How soon were you able to paint over it?
Can it be sprayed on?
