    No. You are limited to 75-76 LeSabre, Electra,and Estate Wagon front end sheetmetal. There are differences even within those limits, like round vs. square headlights, turn signal locations, etc. But the parts will bolt up if you replace them all from the same donor.

    so even if I get everything off of the donor car it will not bolt up?

    Thanks again

    I haven't tried something like that but my guess is that the 72 front bumper won't bolt on the 75 frame (but I could be wrong)... I'd try to find a more similar 74-76 to avoid problems. Remember that the 74-76 Electra225/Limited also have similar front ends.

    i took the whole front clip from a 75 lesabre custom convertible and put on one of my 74 lesabre luxus convertibles and it didnt fit untill i remanned the lower RH (dash to chassis) fender mount. i looked up the parts in my master parts book and sure enough, 71-74 all B,C,E have one mount and 75 all B,C,E have a different one. :Dou:
