So I'm looking at the front bulkhead on this car and it's really rough. RD has the part listed as Front Cross Member. There's two versions, early and late. It appears the only difference are the plug holes are not cut (except the outer two) on the late version. The title says this is a '74 but it has the late front bulkhead (might have been replaced). I also noted that the doors have the crash bars in them which I thought was only on '75 & '76.

Is there any difference on the front bulkheads aside from those plug holes? All the mating surfaces on fenders, headlight buckets, trunk and front pan the same?

75-76 cars have a different front panel due to the shock absorbers of the BUB (big ugly bumpers)
