Not that it makes it any easier to find, but that bumper is also used on the base AF Cutlass as well as 442 and Hurst. Top bar is the same for all 1974 A-bodies; the lower bar is what's different between base/442/Hurst and S/Supreme/Salon.
You may also find that a lot of AF cars did not have the bumper rub strip, and I think I have seen one 1974 Hurst that did not have it.

Thanks, I almost bought a 4 door years back with that same bumper. I have those grills if anyone needs them. I just parted out a 74 salon but the bumper was garbage and could have sworn it was a one piece.
What I'm needing may be the bumper shocks. The bumper sits too far in an I couldn't get it to sit right, looked twisted even though the bumper isn't. The shocks are scraped up like they been pushed in but they measure the same length as my 75's. The bolt pattern on the shock where it connects to the bumper is a 3 bolt upsidedown triangle, different than a 75 and possibility unique to that type of bumper.

Found a two piece supreme/s/salon on eBay and it has the 3 bolt pattern for the shocks. Not sure how I missed that but thanks for letting me know.
Just need to find those shocks. I think that's the issue with mine...
