Sheet metal swap.

I have a '65 Vista Cruiser in need of a front clip. Have access to front sheet metal for both a 66 and 67 442. Anyone know if either one of these will fit my '65?
Any help would be appreciated!

The short answer is no.

The long answer is it will be a lot of work, and, even if you do it right, it will still look wrong. 65s share stuff with 64s.

The long answer is hell, no. And unfortunately, front end sheet metal is not one of the things shared between 64 and 65, either. You can swap the entire nose between those years, but only as a complete assembly.
