David,
I've always been under the impression that Roadster and GT chrome bumpers
were the same.
All the front chrome bumpers were the same while there were three different
rear ones: 1963 thru 1969 and 1971 thru 1973, a unique split bumper for the
1970 model year and a unique one-piece bumper on the 1974 models that had
the "Sabrina" overriders.
How did the roadster and GT bumpers that you received differ from each
other? In the interest of correct restorations, inquiring minds want to
know!
