I think he means he has 71-72 fenders, and needs the headlight bucket area from a '70 to make the 4-headlight stuff work.

If that's the case, something you might also want to address is that the 71-72 fenders do not have the side-marker holes down low between the bumper and wheel opening. They had side-markers in the corner lights instead of mounted in the fender.

 That may be but 4 headlights aren't going to mount to a 2 headlight core suport, even with the brackets from a 70 fender.

This what the headlight buckets mount to on a 70

This a 71-2 No way you're going to put 4 headlights on this.

Bryan is right. The ONLY way to do this is a complete front clip swap including the wiring harness.

Welcome to the group, post some pix of your project. Beware there is some good natured levity exchanged here between those that own the older fatter looking four headlight models and those that have the newer more modern, and faster single headlight versions.

Not sure were yours will fit in currently or in the future but again welcome to the group. If you were looking for a good restoration resource you came to the right place.

 I get the feeling he knows the difference between the 2 and 4 headlight models, hence his desire to clone his lesser heritaged model into one of the best....
