69 frontend work on a 67 Dart

[big]

Anyone know if I can make a 67 Dart look like a 69, by swapping out the grill assembly. I realize the side markers are different, but just wondering about the front end. Thanks much.

My 67 has a 68 grill and head light bezels. I don't see why you couldn't use the ones from a 69.

Thats what I was thinking too, Just didn't know for sure.

I have heard that the headlight bucket depth is different between 68 & 69-- I have a 69 & never compared to other years --this is just something I came across. Lawrence

I remembered hearing there was a differance on one or the other for the 67-8& 9's but just can't remember what it was.

VDART has it... The headlight bucket depth is off 67 to 69, the grill won't swap without the fenders.

As mentioned above, the grills won't interchange between 67, 68 or 69 but you can swap out the whole front clip.

My 67 has a complete 68 grill assembly and 67 fenders. And no, it's not HACKED into place either. The tail lights, now that's a different story...

Best picture I could find...

My 68 had a 67 grill and headlight bezels and it fit no problem. 69 might be diffirent.

I believe it's the 69 year model fenders that the headlamp buckets are different on. Matt

67 to 69 are the same front end clips all parts are interchangeable

This is actually correct, I forgot that I had a 67 fender and it did look the same around the headlight as my 68

I know there is a big difference between the 68 and 69, When I bought my 68 I got a 69 grill with it and there was no way to use it, the headlight buckets were in a different spot as well as all the mounting tabs.
