If anyone can answer me this i would be greatful...I am going back to the 76 front end, besides the radiator support (which I have) what do I have to change? Are the fenders and hood the same or do they have to be changed. If they do need to be changed these are new fenders in the front and they will be for sale. Thanks guys and gals...Scott

The marker lights on the 76 front end will be different from that 81+ front end (isn't an 80, something newer than that) So yes, you'll need new fenders (I think the front is slightly different with the different marker light...)

I could be wrong though, so don't hold me to anything until someone who has a bit better of an idea speaks up

The hoods are different too. The older ones poke out a little more in the center section (on the front) while the newer ones (80 and up i think) are smooth all the way across the front.

Check out the first pic of my 79 in the post "newbie (pics)" and you can see the difference between our hoods.

The year range is from 73-80 and 81-87 for the front end differences, I know this for sure
