" different for the head light doors so even the doors are different and
" it seems like the grill was different too. So long story short, you
" can put a 66 fender on a 67 to 69 or a 67 to 69 fender on a 66 but it
" isn't exactly the same. If you happened to come across a 66 fender
" first it would work until you could get the correct one. 

the grille, filler panel, and doors are different on the '66 from the
'67-9.  my guess is that v8s occasioned the increase.

headlight doors for '66 are symmetrical or nearly so, and might even
be swappable l/r.

i thought the fender itself was the same, though.
