73 Dart Sport and 4 door 73 Swinger parts interchangeable

[dartski]

Looking at a Swinger for parts. Can anyone confirm that the hood, front fenders and most important the complete ac dash from a 4 door 73 Swinger will work on my 73 Dart Sport?
Hoping the Swinger dash is a direct bolt in to the Sport.
I’m sure the fenders are the same can anyone verify that?
I’m on the fence about buying the whole car (Swinger) for parts but the pieces are in very good shape.
Seller wants a little too much $ but I currently have no dash and need to see how it’s all put together.

The entire front clip is the same- fenders, hood, grille, bumper and brackets etc.

The dash is also a direct swap, as is everything else (heater and AC equipment) as long as your car is an AC car.

Pretty much everything mechanical on the Dart (which is not a Swinger if it’s a 4 door) will swap over. Glass, doors, any bodywork behind the firewall is obviously different. The interior parts other than the dash (seats, interior panels etc) are also obviously different.

I've never tried it....... just take into consideration that your 73 Dart Sport has rounded lower A pillar corners, and the 73 Swinger 2 and 4 dr lower A pillar windshield corners are more squared off in the lower bottom, hence there may be some difference in the dashboard frame corners. Like said I never done it, but just a guess on my part. Probably wouldn't hurt to take some measurements of both dash frames. If you had a flexible plastic or paper tape measure would work great. I hope you will figure it out.
Good luck!

Sun visors are different too.

All 73-up dashes are the same.
Kick panels are the same.
A pillars are different.

No! This is not accurate in any way. The A-pillars are different, but it DOESN'T MATTER for the dash at all.

The dash frames are interchangeable for ALL A-bodies, from '67-76. You can take any A-body dash frame and bolt it into any other A-body.

Now, the dash and gauge panels themselves have to be matched to the dash frame, so in the OP's particular case if he wants the '73 dash and AC stuff another '73 is the best donor. There are some minor differences in the gauge panel 73+, seat belt warning stuff etc that is different from year to year. But the dash panel itself interchanges 73+.

No 4 door Swingers, got it. It’s just a 4 door dart. Looks like all the parts I need are on the 4 door parts car. And I want to put ac back in the Sport so I’m going to look those parts over real good and probably go for it.
It’s only 8 miles from me too so that’s a bonus.
Thanks for the info.
