Will a 1969 Roadrunner front fender fit a 1968 model ?

[Tex013]

Ok ,
will a 1969 Front fender interchange with a 1968 model ?
Are the body lines the same ?
I know the side light is different , but that can be altered .
I need a new LH front fender for my 68 Satellite , but AMD are several ( 3-6 months ) away . This is an insurance claim .
I also know I can get fibreglass from AAR which are normally pretty good but insurance only pays for one and freight of one
Thanks in advance

I think they are the same other than the lights.

X2 - besides the side lights and the blinker lights.

The only other difference I can think of is that you will need to remove the bracket at the top of the fender that bolts to the top of the radiator support

 

[Crider]

Also there's something different where the headlight parts of the grill mount if I remember correctly

 

[eldubb440]

it's not like 68 fenders are unobtainable

Eldubb ,
Fenders may be available but not here in Australia . There are no new ones that i can locate in USA . They are on distant backorder .
1969 fenders do appear to ve available .
GetX , Beep , thanks
Crider , thanks . Funny thing is i have 68 headlight bezels , but a 69 grill centre .
Oh and i need a set of good bezels , another non repop item

I have a set of Headlight bezels off my GTX if that’s what you’re referring to as needed. Let me know. Send me a pm and I can send you pics and a price.

 

[Tex013]

Ok ,
just got off the phone from AMD .
Crider - you are correct . Core support and inner structure are completely different , a lot of monkeying around to use a 69 .
GetX ,
will PM you

I put a 68 fender on my 69 years ago but can't remember how hard it was, it worked. Good luck

If you can't remember then it must have been BAD.

 

[aldal]

I don't think it was that bad but then again I was 20 years old and liked to prove I could do it all.

 

[Crider]

Only reason I knew, is that the fenders I just put back on my 69 had been used on a 68 and I had to undo the modifications.

Correct, the brackets are different.

1968...

1969...

 

[69 GTX]

I also think GTX headlight bezels are different from RR because of the grill center section.

 

[Tex013]

thanks again guys .
those pics are great certainly show the core support difference.
Have backordered a fender through Summit . Panel shop organised some good second hand 68 bezels .
PS - I have a 69 grill centre . It fits fairly well with 68 bezels, was on car when I bought it nearly 11 years ago along with a 70 dash and column !
