Can someone tell me the difference in the early (70-73) front wheel well moldings vs the later style (74-77)? I understand the front fenders had extensions from '74 on, and the earlier cars had a front valance, but how much did that affect the actual wheel well opening/shape? Can the later style (74-77) molding be modified to work on an earlier style (70-73) car? Thank you! Art
Really good question, I would think they would interchange the arch should be the same but the length may be different. I have a couple sets of them but dont remember what years the came from I will take one of them and fit them against both years 72 and 76 and will report back
Small bumper trim on left...big bumper on right. Notice the small bumper trim is more rounded to fit the valance. See http://1bad6t.com/Maverick/maverick_55.html for more detail photos
Back in 99 when I converted my 77 Maverick to small bumpers, I reused the wheel well trim. Its aluminum so it will bend enough to work.
