Thanks 77canamman....
I " thought " those were them but just wanting to be safe ...thanks Chris

Those are pricey, but at least they are produced!

OER makes them too and I got them for my 76 for around 25$ a piece 2 years ago. Many vendors sell them. Here is one I quickly looked up online for your 73. It is the same for 76-

'73 is different than the '74 or '75-6 unit (which your link suggests by PN).

Yep I saw the ones from OER but it states they are 67-76 ( classic Industries) and 73 is apparently different
I'm gonna get the ones from PY cause I want to make the frt sheetmetal alignment correct once I get the new hood on....Thanks for the help ...Chris

Yup sorry about that, just trying add input. Just by looking at your pictures, I can tell that the 73 bushings are wider than the ones on my 76. If you are trying to keep your car as original as possible, then the PY ones seem to be your only choice.
However, for those that are on a tight budget and can't afford the $125 a piece price tag, I see no reason why not to try the OER piece. If the bushing material and studs are the correct length, I bet the piece would work. It would not look correct to the trained eye, but would function the same.

Here's a few shots of some that I purchased at a dealer in March 05, are these correct for a 74.

Gary, those are the '75-6 units.

Thanks for lookin Gary....just checkin with Py to see if they have some...Thanks HFR for clarifying this....Chris

Mike, thanks for info and the link, as usual your a great source of information. :D

Chris, No problem, seems I have the wrong ones for my car also :(

Don't get me wrong. The bushings may be wrong as far as studs thread size/length or OD size of bushing, but still may be good enough to work.

Well if im gonna change them out i want the Correct ones,,,,,
Thats Sucks Gary...hopefully not tooo much to change them out...
