Recommended Posts

With the exception of the round vs 71 rectangular turn signal, they do fit.

I may be thinking of the 70 El Camino bumper, so I dont know for sure.

Yes, it will fit. I put a 70 Chevelle front bumper on my first Monte, a 71. It just took a little wire splicing to make the lights work. The smaller rectangle lights will fool people who don't know Monte's well. They will think it's stock 71 lights. 70 El Camino and 70 Monte had the same bumper, just different style lights.

no problem the bumper for the nomad had a hole in it and they filled the hole in and u cant tell it was filled in or not. if they r any # on the bumper u might want to write it down in case the # comes off druin the rechromin.

Since you're in CT did you ever think of having Nu-Chrome in Fall River MA do it? I sent 8 bumpers to them and they did a great job. It was awhile ago but I do remember the pricing was better than some of the shops I would have had to ship it to. After 8 years on my 67 Firebird 400 and the same on a 62 ChevyII and 69 428RA Cougar they still look like the day we picked them up.
