    ...uh, not sure, but

    Ross. . .I "THINK" that lil rubber part you're talking about is the "7 inch block" that sits on the "body channel" at the base of the trunk twixt the body and bumper? If so, I have one for ya. $15 includes box & shipping to lower 48. :TU: Wheelz, Tampa Bay

    Ross,
    The 70's are slightly different from the 71-72's, so you should make sure you get ones for the correct year.

    I think you guys are talking about two different things!
    Ross, I believe, is looking for the bumper filler that is at the top corners of the bumper, and different from 70 -71,2.
    Wheelz , your talking about the rubber blocks that sit on the rear body seam, and they are the same 70-72

    I would think he needs the spacer on the rear body panel under the bumper.B/C there is no way a right bumper filler can work on the left.

    I need the top of the bumber spacer. The '70 Chassis Service Manual (Page 140-5) refers to this as a "SNUBBER". Measures 4 1/2" in width.

    Guys,
    What I am talking about are the (qty 2) thick 4"+ long "Extruded" rubber snubbers that sit on the rear body lip against the trunk lid, that the rear bumper sits on. Again, the 70's are slightly different from the 71-72's, so you should make sure you get ones for the correct year.

    Wheelz,
    The reason I know about this is because I found out the hard way. Once I got the right set my bumper fit just fine. The differences are slight, but if you match them up end to end you will see they are different.

    I'm guessing the part #s should be different? I'll run and check my '70 assembly manual and see what it says.
