Okay, I am in the process of converting a 70 cuda to a 71 and want to make sure I'm gathering the correct parts. Here is what I have so far.

-71 complete grill assembly
-front valence
-front valence insert
-front parking lights
-rear tail lights
-fender gill weld-in inserts
-duel headlight buckets
-header panel (I believe the one I have is from a 72)

Here is a list of things I believe I am going to need that I don't have
-front headlight wiring harness
-hood/latch support
-grill mounting hardware



What I need to know is what the difference is on the header panel between 71 and 72-74 and how to get my 72 panel to work? Also, I have a number of extra hood supports, I just need to figure out what the difference is between the 70 and the 71-74. And finally, will a 71 headlight wiring harness plug into the existing bulkhead plug on the firewall? Or will I need to modify it?

I'm sure I will be coming up with a lot more questions, so any help is appreciated. Thanks

Anyone?

Your header panel can't/won't work, you need to get a 71. Also your fenders won't work either, you need 1971 fenders too.

when you say headlight buckets..you know you need the bracket that is welded to the fender too..other than that I think you are good..you do need a 71 header panel..dont forget the fender turn signals on top are different if you are going that way too

I think I have a couple of extra 71 header panels in the garage. I can take some pictures. I'm not sure if they are usable they both need a lot of work but you can probably use the center section to convert a 72. PM me this afternoon so I remember.

The darker blue colored header panel in the picture is a 71 - the light blue one is a 72-74.

To turn a beautiful '70 'Cuda into '71 you need only one thing.

I need a header panel for a 71 also. I've got a nice 72-74 panel if anybody wants to trade.
