Is a 73 Coronet Windshield and Back glass and chrome the same as a 71 - 74 Charger?

Thanks

NO NO NO... WRONG WRONG WRONG...

NO SAME GLASSES ON ANY CORNER.

Just lower front windshield molding is the same... not even lower corners ( as far part number is also different ), maybe just because angle difference that I think is unapreciable. I could install Coronet lower corners molds without problems,

Coronet front windshield is around 1" maybe a little bit more lower on top and also different width on top ( same width on bottom, that's why dash frame, firewall and lower molds fits ), don't remember if wider or shorter.

BUT THAT'S INCORRECT, NO GLASSES OR  MOLDS INTERCHANGEABLE ( except stated )

I just measured them nacho, and you are right.  It was narrower at the top.  Thank You very much!!!!!!!  Any idea if the frame rails are the same.

Thanks!!

yes, frame rails are the same...  BODIES ARE SEPARATED ON SIZES preciselly because the frames and mostly of inner parts, inner fenders, firewall, etc... not exterior body parts ;)

inner fenders difference is also depends of blocks... I don't know why, SBs inner fender passenger side on Charger has a small hole and metallic shield similar to driver side to get access to upper control arm and stuff, for a while BBs passenger side inner fenders on Chargers Have a GIANT cut out covered with a rubber matt.

anyway, as everything on this, wait for another opinions. I remember have seen on catalog PNs are the same.


NARROWED... that was the exact word I was searching it trying to explain how the glass is not the same... thanks for post :P hehehe.
