All B210 bumpers front or rear will bolt on to any other B210. The bolt spacing is exactly the same. The difference is in how far the shock absorbers stick out, 74-75 are shorter than 76-78 but this means the 78 bumper on a 74 shock is pulled in a bit more. 78 B210 hatchback bumpers are only mildly different from the sedan bumpers. Use the the metal gap cover that comes with your year car.

 

I am currently running 78 hatchback bumpers on my 74 4 door sedan. Bolted right up and they look fine. The only minor difference is the rubber ends on the rear bumper have a slight angle difference. This is not really noticeable.

ok make a friggen liar out of me  :(  the ends are not as bad as I thought they would be.

 

maybe its the earlier ones I'm thinkin' of...you know ..the better looking ones,  albeit heavier.

 

 

 

Carry on! 

I think you may be right about the early heavy ones. Very different angle and even general design.
