Post by: egspot on February 21, 2007, 02:21:11 PM

Are the front fenders interchangeable?

and vise versa?

I'm pretty sure it would be no problem...just the lights are different.

Huh???? The cut-out for the bumper mounts are different is what I was refering too pre 67 compared to 68 and later

I think what Bruce meant.....there are no bumper holes in the front of 67 and earlier fenders, they're in the front apron.

But you're right for the back!

So, if one fender has no holes and another does would that not make them different? almost like what James had already stated without being totally anal.

 My common sense tells me it would.
