1976 dart front clip swap

[1985ram150]

i am looking at a 1976 dart coupe, not a dart sport. i dont like the front grille on it, so i was wondering if i could find a 70,71,72 front clip and put on it. my question is will it fit. will i have to change fenders, hood, and radiator support all.

need fenders/hood and everything foward the entire front clip is needed, and there will be some mods for the bumper to bolt on

Yes they will bolt on . Alignment of all the body gaps can be challenging. I converted my 73 to 72 sheet metal and still have not been able to make all the gaps even . I suspect there are minute differences in the bolt hole locations . I'll eventually wind up elongating the holes with a grinder I suspect.

thanks guys for the replies, I haven't made up mind if I want this one or shop around for an older one.
