Define easily ???

You can swap the nose over, mounting the bumper will require some fabrication because they attach to the frame differently and the 75 will not mate to the 70 nose well.

The rear is more work though , rear quarters , tail panel and the bumper ...


running up my post count some more .

It is not that difficult. The rear requires the tail light panel lights and brackets. No fender change required. The front fenders bolt on. Bumper brackets may need some fabrication.

In 1970 a couple original 1968 Hemi Darts got made into 70 Darts by cutting off the rear foot of the trunk and welding on the 70 parts. The front ends are completely bolt on, except for the tabs for the lower valance that attaches to the core support. I once saw a 70 Dart coming my way and as it passed it had a 74 Dart Sport rear on it... shock

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
