Are 65 and 66 Dart front clips interchangeable?

 

[Syleng1]

yes - as a whole no issues.

Yes all 63-66 A body front clips are interchangeable from the doors forward.

Any complete 63-66 Plymouth or Dodge A Body front clip will fit on any other 63-66 Plymouth or Dodge as long as everything from the donor - hood, fenders, bumpers, valance etc is used-

Yup, for the most part, the above replies are correct if we're talking about an unbolt front clip. If you're talking about an innerstructure cut from the firewall forward, or, including the firewall, there a few things to take into account. I wouldn't use a '63-4 radiator core support in a V8 car. It only has an opening for a 19" radiator. The firewall on a '63 was only designed for a 6cyl and would need to be modified to accept a V8. Some of the firewall holes are a bit different over those years too.....bulkhead connector comes to mind for one. Column floor plates and shift cable holes are another.

Ok thanks fellas!

Next question;
Do 65 tailight lenses work on a 66?

Sorry... I'm a total "newb" to early A's

By reworking the opening on the quarter panel and trunk lid I think they will. You'd also have to modify the wiring a bit too. IIRC, '66 has the backup lights in the bumper, not in the taillights.
