Can anyone assist me in id'ing this nos quarter panel? I bought it as a 69 Polara years ago but now that I'm getting close I realize this not a 69. Possibly a 1970 through 73? Part number on the back is 2963736
Any help would be appreciated, Dave
 
"Post pics"


Just go look it up in my book ... WTF. Help the brother out.
 
If you expand the photo the number is pretty clear. I'll post more pics this morning when I go back out to my shop of the whole panel

Limited space up on the catwalks in my shop so these are the best pics I can do without bringing the quarter panel down...

Definitely 70-71 Sedan. Wonder what is technically different for 70 and 71 to have different part numbers?

The part number alone suggested it was 70/71
My 70-71 parts book just says "70".

But it also doesn't list a quarter for a '71 4door sedan either. So it could be 70/71 or it could be that they forgot the '71. I'm betting it fits both '70 and '71.

I think the only changes I am aware of between 70 and 71 are both bumpers, hoods, fenders, and rear body panels. I think the doors inner structures are slightly different for 69/70 because of the possibility of having vent window regulators where almost all 71s were without.

I found out about the hoods this week. Makes me wonder if they changed the deck lids too.
