High Life Low Life

Hey folks,

I'm having a devil of a time finding a new right front fender for my 73 Charger. Most of the ones I can find for sale seem almost as bad as the one I've got.

The long story short is, I found a website selling new fiberglass fenders for 71-72 Chargers. They claim that 71-72 had a slightly smaller wheel well opening, but that they'd still work on a 73.

I just wonder if anybody has any first hand experience with such a swap, and what problems (if any) to expect should I go through with it?

Considering I only need one fender, but I'd have to replace both if I go with these ones (so they'll match), I'd really like an idea of what I'm getting myself into. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Sorry, no personal experience, but anything can be made to fit.
With '71 fenders, you'll also need to modify the side light openings.

BTW - have you checked eBay or AMD for the 73/74 fenders.

The 71-72 Charger front fenders are different from the 73-74 fenders. The wheel openings are smaller on the 71-72. They will bolt on. There may be some slight differences in the headlight bucket areas(?), but the bumper should interchange.

On a related note, the doors are different from 71-72 and 73-74. They have a very different body line. I'm not sure if will bolt on, never tried that.
