73 and 74 are the only years that will interchange. Unfortunetly, you will have a hard time finding a used 73-74 urethane front bumper. The urethane GM used from 73-75 dries out, splits and crumbles. Your best bet is a fiberglass replacement one, either new (around $300-$350), or you might be able to find a used one.
