Welcome to the site and glad you joined up! I am sure someone here will be able to help you out on your bumper tuck. It has been done before by others.

Hi,
That video is for the rear.
I’m wanting to bring my front bumper close to the body.
Any help and guidance appreciated.

I used 72 bumper brackets to bring them in on my 73. I don't know if you van drill nee holes in the brackets to move the mount point but that might be an avenue to explore.

Thank you mr mopar.
Yes I’m planning on redrilling my original brackets but just thought someone might have posted a link or video of how to with measurements etc.

I'm not sure this has been done, enough times, for there to yet be a guide. Maybe so, but I think this is only the second time in 5 years I recall someone asking about the bumper tuck. If one is experience working with metal, they can figure it out as they go. The principles in the "rear bumper tuck" video of post #3, most of those apply to the front, as well.
