GM hadn't figured out mold technology in '73 so by the time production rolled for '74 they had to run a two-piece. They continued to work throughout the model year, and were able to meet "quality standards" for the '75 run in September.

won't an aftermarket 74 - 1 pc. work ? seems like there'd be alot of screwing around making the 2 pc fit correctly, no ?
The real bumper under the cover is a one year only deal as well in '74. If the car is hit, the bolts that hold the bumper take the energy and have to be replaced. In '75, they added the collapsable shocks that bounce back reducing the price of a low speed impact. The shocks also added more weight. The front bumper under the cover was changed as well from the '73-'74 design.

You mean the 1 pc Truflex? Yes.

Yes they sell the one piece with a fake split down the middle but why settle for that I thought keep it real and install the 2 piece like it came with their both the same price and from what I've read they rarely fit properly anyway manny did a good job fitting this one but theirs still done work to be done for it to look 100 %

I had the same thought about going with a 1 piece rear bumper but really like that you kept the two piece as that is what came on the car. It looks great!
