Charley, of course I realized you did not consider them to be scrap--and it is very generous of you to offer them up. Especially considering how vulnerable those '67-'72 bumpers are--I'm sure some early 140 owner will take you up. I hope you took the brackets (easiest way to remove the bumper) too as they often get bent with the slightest contact. Those bumpers are made of thin extruded aluminum and only about three inches in height. They attach to a welded up, stamped steel bracket which bolts to the frame rail on each side. '73 bumpers look somewhat similiar but are much thicker aluminum and mount to pistons with one good sized bolt on each side. From '74 and up (140-240) the bumpers are like the (sorry for the characterization, OJ) battering rams we see on OJ's car.
