Hi there
What does one have to change (and will it fit?)besides bumper, grill and probably hood if one wants to put a ´68 or ´69 Dart front end on a ´75 Dart?
Thanks for replying.

Thanks guys for your informative responses. I am contemplating adding a ´75 Dart to my collection, but due to the fact that I like the ´68-´69 front ends; I wanted info about if this was possible. You have all been helpful.

the fenders bolt right on and will match up fine. The grille will as well but a couple holes might need to be drilled in the rad support. The hood will bolt on, but the 71 up A bodies have large slots in the hood hinges up just be aware of that. The front bumper will present a problem because the 1975 has the shock absorbers which use different holes in the frame rails. You would need to drill and tap new 1/2" holes to bolt the 68-69 brackets on. I have to agree though about the mismatch looking odd. The 74-76 rear ends are not very cool looking. The rear could be modified to accept the 70-73 rear bumper and valance quite simply and with a 72 front clip one could make a 72 lookalike fairly easy
