73 barracuda front valance mounting verification needed..

[Flathead31coupe]

Could someone with a manual or factory documentation?Be able to identify the factory mounting hardware for the front lower valance insert.. I have seen u nuts and bolts... I've also seen plastic nylon push in inserts.. It really does not matter.I guess as long as it does not compromise the integrity of the grill tabs being plastic... Just trying to find out what the factory used thanks.

I just ordered a front valance for my 70 Challenger. I know the mounting is different. Check in the FSM for the Cuda. The FSM for the Challenger shows the mounting. Not sure, but maybe the Cuda FSM is available for download at mymopar.com.

That link has a lot of good stuff.

However, it does not include the Body manuals starting in '72 and beyond.

My buddy has a 72 survivor and his has bolts... Don't know if that changes in seventy three.. Also , why is there two mounting kits listed...

My 73 used the top picture. Three bolts and metal clips that are mounted to the lower valance out of sight below the grille and the two screws on each end with metal clips.

Some minor progress....

The Internet Archive has the '73 Plymouth Chrysler Imperial Body Manual on its site. I had to join. Can't download it....
