73-up Fenders?

[moparmarks]

What is the difference between Dodge and Plymouth fenders for 73-6? I have a few fenders and all are the same as what is on my 73 Scamp. I don't have a 73-up Dart to compare with. Is the nose different?
Many thanks peeps.

One difference is the Dart headlight bezel goes over the end of the fender, and the Valiant/Dumpster bezel is inset.

So the fender themselves are the same? I thought Dart was flatter on the nose where Plymouth has a bit of a point?

I believe you can use the fenders, but you have to use the hood and the header panel as well. They're different

The Dumpster doesn't have a header panel

The dusters are rounded off at the headlights the darts are square and the bezel sets flat against it.
They will work on a dart but you would have to us a scamp/duster hood and grille too.

The most obvious is the wheel opening shape and lip design. Next is the different placement of side marker light. I also see that the Duster fender uses a filler panel between the grille and bumper. The Dart does not use a filler panel.

This what I was thinking. Thanks

Thanks. I have never noticed this before. Easy way to tell them apart. Many thanks.
I'm not swapping anything. I just want to know what fenders I have.

All my fenders are Plymouths.

They’re totally different lengths too. The Dart fenders are a couple inches longer than the Duster/Valiant fenders.

You can see this with the hood when I swapped on the ‘71 Dart hood as part of my Demon clone job for my ‘74 Duster

Now, the ‘70-72 Dart fenders use a fender extension that bolts on. The 73+ Dart fenders are a single piece, the part that was a fender extension on the ‘70-‘72 fenders is just part of the fender on the ‘73+ fenders. Similar to the ‘67-69 Dart fenders actually, and people have used the 73+ fenders and converted them for ‘67-‘69 use. Not so much anymore since you can buy repro’s now.
