‘72 hood and rear valance

[xx88man]

Can anyone here tell me if a hood and rear valance from a 72 Challenger would be a direct bolt-on to a 71 Challenger..... or are there differences in the hood latch? Or differences in the mounting of the rear valance. Thanks

The rear valances are the same between a 71 and 72.  The 71 and 72 use a different hood latch.  I'm not sure how much of the understructure of the hood changed between years.  If you are going to run hood pins, it doesn't really matter.  You don't need to run a hood latch at that point.
