1973 Dart body question.........

[55falfa]

I just purchased a 73 dart.

My question is, will 70-72 front end sheet metal fit and follow the 73's body lines?

I have to replace the drivers side fender and the grille, so I thought I would look for a 70-72 front end.

The answer is yes, and no.

The body line on the doors will line up with the body lines on the fenders and the complete front end from the 71-72 will look ok, but the radiator core support and the front bumper mounts are a bit different on the 73-76 models. A little bit of fabrication and drilling some holes will be required, but essentially, yes, you can put the later model front end on the 71-72 body.

Thanks for the info.

I will probably stick with 73 sheet metal.
