Default 1971 and 73 Fenders
I know this is probably a very simple answer, but for he life of me I can't seem to grasp the answer. What is the difference between a 1971/72 and a 1973 fender? I know Ford had to install a shock aborbing front bumper, but did that change the fenders?

The 73 fenders have a larger "notch" for the larger bumpers used in 73.

Front ends were definitely different.
