Inner Fenders Swapable???

I have a set of 73-80 inner fenders leftover from a previous project. And my 86 Blazer is in need of inner fenders. Anyone know if the 73-81 inner fenders are compatible with the 81-87 (-91) Squares? Thanks in advance

73-80 Driver side will fit with some persuasion, passenger side will not.
Got a new set for my 86 from Keystone thru the local body shop. Fit perfectly.

Re: Inner Fenders Swapable???

I did the flip of this by accident. The salvage yard gave me a 81-87 inner for the passenger side of my 75. It did fit, after some persuasion. It was several years ago but one of the misfit areas was the battery box support. IIRC, the battery support is lower on the newer style, which implies that in your case, the support would be too high, which might prevent you from putting it in.
