The metal frame of the dash is different. Besides the ignition being in the dash on the 68, the pads hold on different. Also the dash wiring harness is different. Have to change the steering column too. Still more on the dash you will need all the panles not just the cluster; radio plate, piece above glovebox and ends also. And when you say rear tail lights realize its the whole back panel, not just lights. With the grille the whole headlight openeing system is different too. Oh and dont forget the gas cap Personally I would think it would be cheaper and easier to start with a 68 instead of killing a 70. Unless all those parts are bad on the 70 to begin with. But hey I've biased towards 70's. But.......... if you decide to do it I could possibly use the fenders if in nice shape.

Instead of destroying a 70 Charger, why wouldn't you get rid of it and just buy a 68 if that's what you really want. I'm gonna say that makes just a wee bit more sense

Thanks guys! Guess I should've been more clear of what I have. It's a '70 Charger 318 car rolling rusty shell that I had bought due to some family issues. Practically was handed to me I paid shipping handling etc. So I wasn't looking to buy a '70 and always loved the '68. But I couldn't just let this go to a yard. It's a roller as I said with NO doors, fenders, hood, trunk lid, grille, bumpers, dash, glass, gas tank, tail lights, interior, steering column etc. Just the shell, K member and rear end on wheels. Hope that clears the air for you '70 lovers. At least I'm not making it into the 100,000th General Lee LOL. So basically cut out the rear quarters and tail panel sheet metal replace with '68 quarter panels and the tail panel. And the rest is all bolt on '68 stock. Did I miss something? Thanks in advance.
