62 /63 fender swap

Post by b1gkountry »

Was wondering if a 62 and 63 have the same fenders. Mine (63s) are ok, but I might have access to a set of 62s

62 left fenders should fit OK. The right side is another issue. The 62 right fender "might" fit an early 63, but even that is questionable. In 63 the radiator support was changed fit the V8, because of battery relocation, and the fender was changed as well.

There is another difference. The little brackets inside the front for the grille/headlights are different. Not a major job, but they are different. The 62 uses a full width grille and the 63 does not. Mark
