Default rear bumper letters

I dont like the corvette leter style on the back of my 81, I prefer the 76 to 79 style or actually the 74/75 style. how are they attached? do they have locating pins in them (the 81 style) has anyone done this swap?

My letters ('74) have two pins per letter. Question is, will the '74 letters fit within your indentations? Does your year have indentations in which the letters sit?

Then the 74's should surface-mount nicely. My only concern would be getting 'em straight and spaced correctly.
