small MM center step missig some parts the wings are 74-76 as are the adaptors. the ends standard caddy 74 to 76. you need any of them I have two here I'll let go cheap. the ends that is

hard to find
kevin good luck with finding that bumper,i hope someone can find one,but if they cant,i was finishing up one of my cars,i needed a bumper,the middle piece was ok,i found a metal shop and gave them the car and they pulled off the bumper and used the old one as a template and made me a new bumper in a couple of hours,and charged less than 200 dollars,the only problem was it needed to be cromed,and i am very busy,i thought it would rust by the time i would get it cromed,so i thought,and i remember a trick my nieghbor showed me,we live on the water,and everthing rusts in 1 hour,so he told me just spray it with clear,that was a year ago the bumper looks so good without the crome,i will never crome it. Good Luck brian 917-499-9994

The rear bumper is from a 70 through 72 Cadillac with the small back up lights. As Brian said, Good Luck finding them. Last year I purchased two from Jeremy that I was going to use on my Lifeliner but ended up using the right side on the Criterion. I still have the left side and hope to get another right and replace them on the Lifeliner.
Last I heard Attila had a set for sale. Might want to check with him.

They are not '71-'73 CC bumper blades, read what Ed wrote. I have never had any '74-'76 CC bumper, sorry.
Pretty certain Carl Woerner still has one upstairs in parts room.

Like Ed has said these are 74-76 . Got one complete not perfect some rust but ok if you have nothing.If it is for a ambulance you could cut it down and add the step or just use as is. $450.00 plus shipping if you need the light harness add $45.00 Pics are here>>>>> xmass

Let me make this a little more clear. I purchased two from Jeremy that came off a 73 Cadillac hearse. I was going to put them on my 73 but instead used the right rear on the 75 Criterion. My mechainc was able to cut out the bumper rear light section and install the light. It's the same bumper style from the above years. He also had to cut the bumper piece down just a bit to fit the step.
Before and after shots of the bumper Jeremy sold me on the Criterion.

you are correct Richard they use the same blank from 65 to 76 one could with a little work take a older one and move up in the years with it. fairly easily. same as modifying the hearse to fit the ambulance. going the other way is a touch more difficult. but it could be done if you had to.
