73 Lifeliner with 72 rear bumper ends ?

[Mike McGeehan]

I'm new to this world so forgive me if this is a dumb question. I want to replace these rear bumper ends instead of rechrome ( $). Aren't these 72's and what models would be compatable ?
Additionally, I'm going to 'SEMS" these mismatched dash trim pieces but looking to source trim piece under the steering wheel. Any leads ? Thank you.

Your rear bumper is correct. Cadillac carried over the '72 rear bumper on the commercial chassis only for 1973.

The bumper ends are a commercial chassis part . The basic shape is the same as a stock Caddy and the lens is the same as a 72 but the commercial end is made to fit the bumper blade which is commercial chassis specific. . If these are good re chrome them , finding the commercial ends can be tuff sometimes.Here is a pic of all the parts re chromed from a 72 I had. 71,72,73 ends are the same.

Very helpful. Thank you....that rechromed bumper is soooo pretty.

That solves the mystery. Thank you.
