Thanks topside..I was wondering around headlight bezel as well...
the styling differences..trim holes are no biggy.. P 70 will bolt on to the front of the car and line up with the door contour, that is where the similarity ends. As noted a 68 fender is easier to make work , all you need to do is change the marker light hole, add in the piece that the headlight bezel screws to and add the top mounting point that attaches the fender to the upper radiator cross bar.
running up my post count some more .

It has been a while, but I don't believe the 68 and 69 are a true exchange, I think the flanges bolt up differently by the core support. You can put a 68 on the 69 core support easily , the 69 on a 68 core support requires mods , it will not bolt on without at least removing a bracket that goes across the top of the radiator cross bar. For 68 the hood bumper is on the core support, in 69 it is on a bracket that is attached to the fender in the same spot.

Pretty much correct. 1969 is '69 only - 2 door - Sattelite, Belvidere, RR, GTX. Back when I was selling sheetmetal in the 80's & early 90's, '69 RR fenders were the one year only. Definitely NO on Coronet fenders too!

I have some rust free 69 fenders kinda beat up I was going to use to save my 68s. The park area is different, headlight bucket has an extra bracket to mount the grille and there is a bracket to attach to rad support the 68 doesn't have. 70s are smooth and don't have the upper reveal line the 8s and 9s do...I'd swap a 9 for an 8 to save a couple days of welding
