I read somewhere they are the same except the headlight bucket is positioned differently (can cut spotwelds and reposition), and the marker light position. This could also be cut from the old fender and welded in.

The 69 fender seems impossible to locate. Can anyone verify the above?
 
I talked to a guy at carlisle about the AMD Dart fenders & he said they could still be as much as 3 years away from going on the market yet. Bums me out because I need a set too. Yes the later fenders can be modified to fit the older cars. Sleepyhead416 did a set for his '69 Dart resto & from the pics it looks like they turned out great! PM him & I'm sure he'll tell you more about what to do. Seems like a super nice guy.
 
Thanks, sleepy's thread helped. I've partly figured it out.

73 - 76 Darts and Dart sports used the same fender which is like the 67-69 Dart fender apart from marker light/reflector placement.

Someone said the wheel opening is slightly different. Not sure on that part.

Duster fenders and 70-72 Dart fenders have a completely different shape.
