Guest Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 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. [This message has been edited by George Lines (edited 09-23-2003).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Easy way to find out. Go find a mint original Chevelle SS and take it's bumper off Alright seriously, if we have any members who have a Chevelle, and a Monte maybe they could do some measurments for us ------------------ 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo My Monte Carlo Page Pete@firstgenmc.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montefrazer Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 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. ------------------ Steve [This message has been edited by montefrazer (edited 09-23-2003).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 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. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
