The 74-77 Camaros have aluminum bumpers as well, but they are pretty thick.

Ford Escorts had both steel and alum. bumpers on front depending on year.
But wait, you want the steel bumpers on front of a FWD car.

Early year fox Mustang's and Capri's front and rear. No real explanation as to how to go about looking other than a magnet. Everyone that is selling them are very proud of them as well.

All 78-83 Ford Fairmonts and Mercury Zephyrs came with factory aluminum bumpers. Kinda big & clunky looking, but pretty lightweight.

Re: al. bumbers
 
I'm guessing 78-9 up on the spirit/concords.Plastic end caps would be a tip off,so you can't really hide the fact if you have to that they're aluminum.
If Tom Goldman is reading this he will have the answer.
Doc,you having a senior moment????????

Re: al. bumbers
 
What type of ET car do you have? A buddy has a 78 Malibu that he installed the Fairmont bumpers on. The front looks pretty good, for fit, but the rear is a bit odd, as the Fairmont bumpers are flat top & bottom, and the license plate area of a 78-83 Malibu normally dip down into a recess in the factory rear bumper, so there is a fairly large gap between the tailights and the top of the bumper.
