    I think the sheet metal is interchangeable acept for front fenders the 69.5 to 72 have small bumper fenders. I have a 73 that I am converting to a small front bumper, so I must notch the front fenders.

    Welcome to the board.

    As stated, you can swap most everything around between years. Front fenders need notches if going to a small bumper swap.

    Another thing that comes to mind there is the rear quarter extensions are different early (70-73) and late (74-up) and must match the bumper that is in use. So, a grabber rear spoiler set will not match up to the later big bumper, etc.

    Dashboards are different too, later ones are made to match up to the glovebox. Early tray dashes are rounder, pre-73.
