Ok so can i take the front fenders off a 72, the hood from a 71 (power buldge), front bumper from a 72 hideaways, rear bumper and tail lights from a 71 RT, trunk from a 71 and the doors from a 72 rallye to fit on my 74?

everything yes except:
DOORS... imposible to fit... will match on front with fender, but not on rear with quarters ( 71/72s are higher )
some notes:
Fenders, yes, but will need to use also the fender to front valance splash shield. Supposelly JUST one bolt hole won't alignt perfect but is "doable". Do you really WANT to use the 72 fenders ? I don't think is a BIG jump on look, they look exactly the same except the wheel opening cut is lower on 71/72. won't be able to match rear and front moldings ( if you want to use ) from 73/74 and they are diff profile than 71/72
Rear bumper, yes but use also 71/72 brackets. ANYWAY You don't need complete bumper to fit 71 tail lights thought, tal lights is a plug and play job on 73/74 bumpers. Just will advice use also the 71/72 license bracket "stopper"
Front bumper, yes but keep your frame rail brackets and enlarge the holes to fit closer to body and save the bumper filler gap. 72s bumpers don't have the bumper filler bolting place. ( that's teh reason why also use on rear the 71/72 brackets )

fenders...will go on but front structure on fenders is not the same, wheel opening is different size, could be an issue if you want to have wheel opening moldings. (I would get the correct fenders) Not sure if a 71-72 rear WOM will fit a 73-74. hood- not a problem, front bumper not a problem, rear bumper and tail lights not a problem. 72 doors absolutely will not fit a 74.

Thank you fo those who took the time and shared this info with me. I greatly appreiciate it.  Baisically what im lookin for is to take the *Gaps* between the front and rear bumpers and loose em, have hideaway head lights, the 71 RT taillights, buldge hood, and the trunk from a 71 that has the pre set holse for the go-wing. The fender thing was not much a issue i was just curious but the things i just added is what im after.  |
