I have been looking for a nice set of front Frame rails for my 1971 Cuda restoration with no luck but found a 1971 Charger which the seller claims uses the same rails. I know this is true for K frames and lots of other components but are the rails and transmission cross members the same. I would be buying the entire front clip as seen in the pictures and it would be nice to just swap the rails and cross member as an entire unit maybe the inner fenders also if there the same.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Should be the same through 72. The B-body frame rails/inner fenders/suspension was changed in 73.

Hard to describe....The vertical panels at the front of the torque box that attach to the fire wall ?? :looney:

I put AMD frame rails on my Cuda and had no problems. Seams like a lot of work to put on a 40+ year old part.

Keep your cowl, and upper radiator support.  That is where your VIN is stamped.
