What's the difference in fenders between a 70 and a 72? Was talking to a guy with glass fenders off a 70. Said they'd fit my 72 with no differences otherwise (still match up to grilles, hood, bumper, bezels etc). Can anyone shed any light on this please?
When doing a correct resto 1970 fenders lack the impact crush zone ripples at the tops of the inner fenders that are seen on the 71-72 fenders. With fiberglass fenders none of that matters.
The repro fenders and the GM originals that were available in the parts system are all the 71-72 versions with the crumple zone dimples. This makes usable 1970 fenders highly sought-after by restorers who understand the difference. There is a thread from 2012 that has photos.
