What panels will bolt to what bodies?

jerame_c said

I have read many posts about people swapping parts to make demons out of dusters and all that stuff. My question is a bit different.
I have made custom composite hoods and fenders before. I am wondering how much interchangeability there is in the hoods and fenders. If I made a custom hood for my 73 Duster would it bolt on to other generations or brands within the A bodies? Would a 73 trunk lid interchange with a 70-72 trunk lid?
I would really like to get an idea of how everything interchanges before I decide how to build my fenders and hood.
Thank You,
Jerame

All 67-76 A-bodies can swap front ends completely like everythin forward of the firewall thats a body panel. though, i'm not 100% on if that applies to the 67-69 Barracuda, sorry. I've actually wondered if they would or wouldn't lately, so here's to hoping someone chimes in. On the note of deck lids/trunk lids, 70-76 Duster/Demon/Dart Sport can all interchange. Hoods, '73-'76 Duster/Scamp share a hood, but it is different than the other A-bodies. Here's a list of all the cars that have different hoods/shared hoods. The ones that are listed apart do NOT share hoods and the ones that are listed together do. i.e. '73-76 Duster/Scamp
'63-66 Valiant/Barracuda
'67-69 Barracuda
'67-69 Dart
'67-68 Valiant (Not sure on '69)
'70-72 Dart/Demon
'70-72 Duster/Valiant
'73-76 Dart/Dart Sport

'63-66 Darts each had different hoods.

All '67-76 fenders will interchange, minus '67-69 Barracuda fenders.

All in all, you can swap the entire front clip on the '67-76 cars, theres a few people with '75 Dusters on here with '70-72 Dart front ends.


Hope this helps!:toothy5:
