Question: 72 decklid on a 74

Post by 74-440RUNNER » Wed Jul 08, 2009 9:27 pm

I have a question: will a 72 Satellite deck lid fit on a 74 Satellite? I'm thinking about a fiberglass hood and deck lid on my car, and I want to know if it will fit. Does anyone know of any other fiberglass parts for a 74 Satellite/ Roadrunner?

Yes - decklids fit across all 4 years. I know you are looking at fiberglass, but for the factory parts, the 71 decklids had the cutouts in the inside structure for the spoiler attachment, where the rest of the years didn't.

If I remember correctly, the lock cutout is different between 72 and 74 as well?
