The headlight bucket positions are different though. The 73 puts the light lower and toward the grille more. If you are willing to modify things a little, the 73-76 fenders are far cheaper to buy!

I looked at a 69 M-Code Dart once and the guy said nothing had ever been changed until I showed him the differences between both of his fenders, then I brought him a 73 fender to show him what he had. I have lots of every year fender including an NOS 73-up, you might want to PM me.
