The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Hi guy's

I'm new user from BAHRAIN my name is khalid. I hope you accept me with you.

I like to ask about the different between the 70 challenger body and 72 challenger body?
I'm thinking to change my 72 challenger to 70 .

I hope you can help me . and i like to know where can i find the parts to be my car 70.

Is that good idea to own 70 challenger ?

THANKS

Wellcome!

To answer your question.

It can be done and has been done many times.

Just thinking off the top of my head. The main differences are the front grille and rear lights.

The marker lights on the sides of the car are different too.

I mention this because it is easier (I think?) to use 1970 front fenders if you want to fit the 1970 grille because the headlights are mounted differently in the two models. However if you did that your rear marker lights will not match.

Which ever way you do this you will have some welding/fabrication to do. It is not just a bolt-on swap.

The rear lights are not so hard to do I think??

The main problem is finding the bits to do this in good condition.

Have a good look through the posts on this board as I am sure it has been discussed before. Although that may have been on the old version of this board and will be lost now.

Good luck.

Thanx for the reply dave - r
I can see the grille is different and the side marker lights front and rear and the rear stop lights. but the question about the Body coz one guy told me the Body is not same !! i think he is not right !!!

Thanx for your help Brother

The body is the same but my point was it is not as easy to swap the parts over as it might look.

I personally like all three types of grille and would not go to the bother of swapping bits from model year to model year.
