I found a set of Bumper Spears/Push Guards for my 64' Dart, I thought. The bolt holes don't line up front or rear? Any ideas what they might fit??? (the curve to the bumper is perfect)

the Valiant bumper looks to be squarer(?) than the Dart. Did the Barracuda have these as an accessory?

They were an option on all the early As - front only, or rear only or front and rear. Looking at a front and side view they all had the same basic shape - other than the cut-out for the bumper and mounting bolts. Some used a single bolt like in your first picture, some used a pair of angled bolts. My 65 Dart GT was optioned with F & R guards and seem to only fit the 65. I have F & R guards for my 65 Barracuda which will interchange with the 65 Valiant and probably the 64's but not a 63 Valiant I have. I hope to use the 63 Valiant front bumper on a different project and it has just the single mounting hole as in your first picture. Unfortunately I don't have the guards for it (looking for them). I have 3 loose guards I have and none of the 3 fit the 63 F Valiant bumper, nor either F or R of the 65 Barracuda nor the F or R of the 65 Dart. So I don't know what they fit either.

Here is a tracing of the side of the bumper guards. All (4) are exactly the same, and as I said before the fit the curve of the bumper fits perfectly, but the holes are just in the wrong place.
