no.
maybe just rear 73/74 will fit on 71/72, but definitelly not the fronts.
NHCharger made them to fit, but did need modify them

Fender patches listed here..... store.shermanparts.com/cgi-bin/sherman/product_list.html?img_num=172172-36L and 172-36R. You can click on the purple text in the description field and see a picture of the part. Are they worth that much money for a part that will still have to be "worked" to fit (as any patch will) You'll have to decide that for yourself. #Thinking#

What ever you do, do NOT buy the #86 "crash panel" for the quarters. I did so 15 years ago and it literally is just a piece of flat unformed sheet metal for $100. I can't believe they still sell that crap. If they have nerve to sell that as a viable body piece (honestly it was as if a 7th grade metal shop made it) then their standards are WAY below anything I want on : my car.......

Really? I've had pretty good luck with stuff from there. Then again, I've always bought larger complete stamped panels from them . I've heard that some panels are hand formed, and we aren't talking Italian craftsmen hammering aluminum into Ferraris here. I guess the other advantage for me is that they are local, so I can drive over and see what I'm getting.

#86 crash panel is the same one a guy makes in his garage at home and sells for $99 on Feebay. I had to cut them into sections, hammer to proper shape, then weld in a piece at a time. The trunk extensions are garbage too [#61]. I bought a set, took them home, set one in the trunk to see how close it was NOT! Then returned them and made patches out of the left over metal from the $99 quarters.

Only reason I decided to use them was the wheel well lip was correct, it was the main part I needed. made door corners and trunk extension patches out of the leftovers, so at least didn't have to buy any more sheetmetal.
