Welcome!

If you post a wanted add here you might find the parts you need. I would check with John ( 2blu442) he is in Orgeon shipping grey hound is pretty quick and cheaper, there are other options as well

Is your car a 442? If not you might look into selling the 70 fenders and buy a 71/72 from my understanding, they have a few changes but no big deal unless your doing a 100%
restoration as the 70 fender is a one year and a bit harder to find rust free

Other might chime in and give you better idea of the changes

Welcome. Memory Lane is your best bet in SoCal. In any case, these cars are few and far between in wrecking yards anymore. Which body style do you have? There are three different trunk lids in 1970: Holiday and Sport Coupe (2dr hardtop), Cutlass Supreme hardtop, and four door/convertible. They do not interchange. They are being reproduced, however, as are front fenders.

Hey joe is the 70 fender being made or the 71/72 style if memory serves me 70 fender is different. I personally don't know what is different

Actually, it's a 71/72 style, but obviously that works on a 70. The difference is that the 1970 fenders are smooth on the flange under the edges of the hood and the 71/72 fenders have the "bumps" for energy absorption in a crash. They fit exactly the same. The only difference is optical (and slightly more safety in a front-end collision).
