The 1970 grill, bezels, core support, and hood are unique to 1970. Only the inner and outer fenders will interchange with 71-72 (and even then, there are small cosmetic differences)

The fender will work. The bezels from a 71-2 won't fit right unless you change the headlight mounting part and maybe the grill too. If you are just replacing the fender you will be fine.

what kind of cosmetic differences would there be joe?

would they be drastic? or only noticeable by the eye of a professional?

i rather just wait till i find a good used 70 fender if putting a 71 or 72 fender on it will look funky

You can see the difference in fenders here http://www.texas442.com/misc1/DSC00135.JPG

You can see the dimples only when the hood is raised. Otherwise, the 70 and 71-72 fenders are the same.
