Default Rear Bumpers?? Does Anyone Know???

I have a 74 C3 and wanted to add the later 80-82 Rear Bumper with the small lip spoiler. Will this just bolt on directly to the stock 74 retainer bolt holes??? Right now, I have a NEW 1-Piece Bumper that hasn't been mounted yet, and a In Good Condition Indy Spoiler, but I don't like the way they look together. Any Help will be appreciated....Thanks!!! :flag

Oh, one more thing, what does it mean by "NO WAVES" in the bumper or that it even has the original waves?? What is that???

The original OEM Urethane bumpers were'nt rigid enough to stay straight, or well at least to when they were exposed to the sun, weather, aging, oxidation, etc., etc.

Direct bolt on with the exception of the support underneath. There is another thread open on this subject already. Check here for more info. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=520982 :thumbs:
