The other post got rather large with our pictures. So there is a difference in the bolt holes from 72 - 73 and the top of fender to the wheel well lip height is different by around an inch.
Are there any other differences which would prevent using a 72 inner fender on a 73?

I just checked out the "Sherman" website and it looks like they sell the inners as the same one for 71 to 74. If so, only big difference should be on the right side being complete and not having the cut out for the big block motor.

the area where the front splash shield attachs on back of sheetmetal where headlight pedestal bolts. 71/72 is flat and one flat piece shield. 73/74 is way too wide since is "folded" and larger
you can fit the fender and valance of any year as far you get the right front splash shield to get completed the assembly. need the propper shield with fender.

AND DEFINITELLY NO!!! inner fenders ARE NOT THE SAME on B bodies since 73. Are the same just on A and E bodies.
71/72 are like earliers B bodies, and A and E bodies, with UCA and shock absorver bolted directly to frame rail/inner fender area.
73/74 front end is tottaly isolated from unibody, bolting those pieces on an extra area on K frame ( like a tower ) to bolt the plate where this pieces attachs. Not anymore to Unibody...
this inner fender diff makes different EVEN THE BATTERY TRAY!!!

I'm gonna need the drivers side. Thanks for the offer though, charger1973. Would prefer to go brand new. Not seeing them on any of the sites. Any web site suggestions for what I may be missing when looking for a new inner fender?

I'll be checking with a local guy about the inner drivers side for a big block. If I hit a dead end, I'll let you know. Postage is just so outrageous now days.
