That a '73 chevelle/El Camino front. You have to change the whole nose, less the fenders, But I don't think you will have trouble selling the old parts.

Thats what im looking to do, make the front look like the silver one.....what parts/years should i be looking for?

Here's my 76:

Malibu Classics got the quad headlights, but in case you want to see one:

Oh yeah..... I like the 73 Elky BTW. Wonder how much work that took to do?

BUT if memory serve me right 73 bumper shocks are one year only. so he might have to use 74-77 bumper and shocks. So 74 would be his best bet..

BTW look where your jack holes are compared to the 73's. not that it matters and noway am i trying to start trouble,just givin my $0.02 Wink

My 76 bumper is long gone. I'm now running a tucked 73 bumper. Very Happy

They interchange, but 73 shocks MUST be used with a 73 bumper. Also the 76 bumper was actually smaller. Too bad I couldn't have kept it & tucked. Oh well.
