I know this is a odd request but I was just wondering if anybody has a really damaged fender or quarter panel and wants to just sell the side marker patch piece. I'll have a pic of what I'm looking and I only need 1 side.

If I were doing the 72& up to 71 & down conversion I'd make a stamping die... No warpage from welding to deal with, there's plenty of metal & it's a pretty easy die to create....

Pretty sure that the 70-71 stamping is narrower then the 72-74 lights  :thinking:

PG Classics used to sell that part you need.

If I was doing a custom 72-74 Cuda build, I'd just start out by putting 70-71 quarters and fenders on it.  Most cars need those replaced anyway.  The only issue might be mounting a 72-74 grill into a 70-71 fender.  (If I was doing a custom 72-74 Challenger, I'd do the same thing)

Yeah, but the light sits flat on the panel, pretty sure the cut out hole is smaller..

Thanks for all the input. I'm probably going to do what 1 Wild R/T said make my own once the patch in my first post is delivered.

No they don't. The plastic reflector is counter sunk in the panel just like the 70-71's and I believe that area is wider than the 70-71's

Well that surprised me... I knew I'd seen a marker removed from a flat panel.... Looks like Dusters are flat.....

We are....

72-74's which I'm happy to say I've never owned... And obviously lots of folks who do own them would prefer to own the earlier version of, or we wouldn't have this post... :alan2cents:
