What needs to be done to put ‘68 grille back in my Dart? Somebody installed a ‘69 grille. Tried to put it back to stock, but there are some subtle diffs, ‘cause “no fittee”.
There's more to it than just that, only the outer skin is the same (besides the obvious side marker difference). If I get out to the shop today I'll post pictures, but I've got a lot of other irons in the fire today.You can get away with just changing out the headlight buckets. The actual fenders are the same except for the marker lights and the fender brace that goes from the inner fender skirt to the fender wheel opening. Most inner fender braces are missing after 50 plus years.
Good luck with your project.
The entire headlight bucket area is different on each year 67, 68, and 69. Easy to tell if you have seen as many as I have...There's more to it than just that, only the outer skin is the same (besides the obvious side marker difference).
