    What are the differences between a 72 maverick and a 74 ? how apart are the fenders? Can the radiator from a 74 be used for a 72.....? what other parts can be used from a 74 to 72?:huh:

    Front and rear bumpers and attaching parts are different
    Radiators will interchange
    Gas tanks are different
    Lower dash tray on a 72 vs glove compartment on the 74
    Interior door handles will be in a different location
    Fenders will interchange but need to modified in the front bumper section and may require the correct headlight buckets

    Fenders from the 74 can easily be used, just need to cut out a small notch. There's instructions on this forum somewhere, do a search. Most of the stuff is interchangeable except the bumpers.

    I've had a few
    About anything mechanical, like the radiator, will be a bolt in swap.

    The fenders will swap. You have to cut some sort of notch, but I've never found a straight answer on that so I figgure I'll find out when it comes time. The doors would be a bolt on swap(but the interior handles are diffrent and not interchangeable), you can swap the tail lights, trunk lid, windows, hood, anything like that.
