front wheel well 73-80 vs 81-87

[Dead Parrot]

You can get a 81-87 passenger side inner wheel well to fit a 73-80 fender. Learned this after an old style 'you can't go back there' salvage yard sold me the newer style for my 75 many years ago. Naturally there was a 'all sales final' policy.

After a bit of cussing, got it to fit. Most of the holes will line up. Had to drill a couple new ones. The battery tray support is in a different and lower spot. Good enough for a functional replacement but not for a show quality fix up.

Guessing the driver's side is similar but haven't had to test that.
