Will 73-74 charger fenders work on a 72?

[jimster70]

  Someone told me they were different. I held it up to my 72 fender off the car and they look identical. Anyone please???

73/74 wheel wells are cut higher than a 72.  Ive also heard one of the bolt holes is different but I never switched them to find out myself. 

[jimster70]

The inner wells or the outer fender wheel lip is higher? If it is the inner fender wells that would be ok.

The actual wheel opening is higher on the 73/74.  Measure the top of the opening to the top of the fender on both.

the 73/74 wheel well opening is wider in length from the front of the opening towards the rear.

BUT YES, THEY WILL FIT AND LINE UP WITHOUT ANY ISSUES.

yes, I did this.

And also found a 73 fender on a 72. For a driver, without chrome molding, no one would notice.

[Mr_fixit]

The bolt hole for the reinforcing rod is in a different spot for 71-72 vs 73-74. And there's other differences where the fender bolts behind the headlight bucket area. If you look you can tell the difference when the wrong year is installed.

some diff but definitelly will fit without big issues.

also would need the right fender to front valance inner splash shield... they are diff shape and size

Of course won't be able to fit same molds, and if you use 73/74 mold will be diff from the rear ones ( diff profile )

nO I THINK THE BODY LINE IN THE DOORS AND FENDERS

eeehm body lines will match PERFECT

[CHARGERMAN2007_69]

Well i have a 71 charger se 500 and tried to put 73 fenders and the body line wasnt evan close and my fender is exact same as a 72 charger except for the marker light.

[Nacho-RT74]

I have installed and removed 71 fenders from 73 several times and diff are in inner area where beams pedestal attaches, and then that makes diff teh front splash shield... beside that, just the wheel opening shape

[CHARGERMAN2007_69]

Iknow the wheel opening is different but when i tried to install a 73 fender on my 71 for some reason it was a little longer im not arguing with you but when i tried to install it on my car it wouldn't fit 

[AKcharger]

Please allow me to answer this, YES they fit, YES they line up fine, YES the wheel openings are diffrent and the mount for the engine support rod is diffrent...behold

[AKcharger]

Hey...but that's our little secret that I have a wrong fender installed
Ohhh look more pictures...

[Nacho-RT74]

so you have 73/74 on passenger and 72 on driver side ? At least does looks that to me

[AKcharger]

Correct!...good eye

[Mr_fixit]

I have  a 74 the same way. Had to modify the chrome  trim to fit, too.

[AKcharger]

Yeah...I had to use a 73-74 trim...it's diffrent
