Depending when in 73 it was made the front nose cone of the trans will probably be different but that's just a case of swapping the nose cone over.

| The front fender question you asked and were answered. Rear fenders fit but have different taillights, 73 will not fit on 68-72 and vice versa. Running boards will fit. Headlights, signal lights will fit. Glass will work, front seats will not. Seats changed for '73 along with how they anchor to the pan. 68-72 seats will not work in 73 and 73 seats will not anchor to 68-72 pans. |
Just to clarify(19super73 you even confused me A bit on that one) The fenders DO fit, But the tail lights are different, And you "can not" swap the lights from one fender to the other,,, If you put on the 73 fenders you Have To use the 73 lights!!

Although I was clear as mud, that is exactly what I meant.

| The reason I am asking is I can buy the fenders, running boards for a hundred bucks, and maybe later the rest of the car except motor. |
