dunno on plymouths but on dodges since 71, Coronets and Chargers front clips are not interchangeable as partial interchange, just K member, inner fenders and frame rails are the same as far they are between 71 and 72 or 73 and 74. My thoughts are same to plymouths.

Now, talking about A COMPLETE CLIP as assembly... maybe yes since platform is the same IF BOTH CARS to make the change are between 71/72 years or 73/74. The real basic problem on what you are trying will be maybe the front bumper brackets because the different frame rails and isolated suspension stuff started on 73.

everything I have told are just thoughts that theorically would be problems on what I think I know, but I don't have the exact and final answer.

so you are Creeder influenced to make a "71" RR with 4 doors ? LOL

not really i just want that front end as the 73 front end is ugly looking-MATT

Even IF it would swap...............that would be a waste of good parts

[THE CHARGER PUNK]

im not tlaking about swapping liek suspension or anything, just the fenders and hood and grille-MATT, how coudl it be a waste im gonna drive the car and the front end isnt going 2 be junked its goin onto a car , why selll it wen  ican amke acool car

[Chryco Psycho]

I highly doubt it , the inner fenders & rad support etc were different afgter 72

Even if it did line up,I don't thing the body lines match up.I also think that the 2 door has more of a curve too it where it meets up with the door.I could be wrong .

Thats a point to think.

Same than Chargers, but you can fit a 71 front clip on to 73 for example... and viceversa. Bolting points are the same ( On Chargers no matter 71/72 and 73/74 )

HOWEVER I was checking on my 74 catalog and it appears front frame rails aren't the same part number between 2 doors and 4 doors ON SAME YEAR. I can't find the inner fender stuff, so yes, maybe is not posible to fit a front clip from 2 doors on to 4 doors

dammit oh well guess im gonan have 2 keep lookin for a 71 b-body to put these parts on-MATT

wait a second that car is identical in appearance to the car i know of, xcept the one i know of is not a station wagon, maybe i know of a 71 and not a 73, i thought it was a 73 due 2 it being a 4-door, but iguess it is a 71 and i can put the 71 runner part up front SWEET!!!!!!-MATT

[Brock Samson]

they never chaznged the tooling on station wagons cause the tooling was really expensive and they didnt sell many S.W.s
i'd love to see a decent 71 station wagon road runner,.. i seen earlier ones but never a third gen...

[THE CHARGER PUNK]

a roadrunner 3rd gen wagon would be sweet, 440-6pack 4-spd w/ pistol grip, front bucket seats,rallye dash,sublime green with air grabber hood with black out,15 x 7 rallyes and the machine gun tips coming from the correct 71 valence-MATT

that's because since 71 2 doors B bodies weren't anymore same cars than 4 doors B bodies... earliers are the same car, but not laters
