I have a 74 Nova, but I want to switch to a 70 front end. I know I need the obvious parts like the front bumper and grille with the headlight trim, but I want to know if there is anything else that is 1970 specific that I would need to get. I know that the fenders are pretty close to the same, but i'm not sure if they are the same. I am also wondering the same about the hood. I will end up going with a fiberglass front end (i.e. fenders and hood) and I want to order the correct parts to convert to the 70 front end. Thanks.

If you don't like the '74 front end and like the '70 better, sell the '74 and buy a '70. You still will have the '74 taillights, rear bumper and larger rear 1/4 windows.

Yes, but the tail lights are different and one other big thing is that my 74 is a hatchback car and I want to keep that aspect of the car.
jmcleek- Nice car, that's how I want mine except for the tail light panel.
