Inner fender question

Would the inner fender from a 73-79 model fit in a 70 model F100? The passenger side inner fender on my 70 model is rusted through at the battery tray. I have a set from a 78 that's in excellent shape. If they're a match I was just going to swap them out.

from what I have read they will fit but a hole or 2 need to be made or enlarged. I think one on firewall and one on rad support.

The 73-79 inner fenders are not 100% identical in the bumps and stuff but the mounting points are verry similar. The Lt inner fender matches better looks(bumps and what not) wise than the Rt side.

as mentioned above they will work and they last longer because they are galvanized but you will need the hood hinges too because they mount on the opposite side of the rib or bump than the origonals do.

I mounted a set of 73-79 inner fenders in my '68. I had to use the 73-79 fire wall mounts too. I also had to slot the holes in the mounts and the hinges to make them work.

I want to swap a set of the galvanized ones into my '69. Nice to know that there are others that have done it.
