79-80 are the only cars to use that hood and the 78 one wont work unless yah swap the whole frontend.
As for the doors I would think the doors off a 78 would work on a 72 as long as its not a wagon. Cause if I remember right wagons used a different door.

Well I just purchased the 78 parts on ebay and did a pretty good deal on them for sure. If swapping out the front end is and option on my 79 then I may have to go the route. I have the complete front end and interior as well. New deck lid and both doors.

Nice thing is that they are only 20 minutes from the house, and the wife is going to pick them up for me.

This may have already been answered, did they change the fenders as well?

Also, how about 78 doors on a 72??

Thanks

The 78 runabout doors should fit your 72 trunk model but you will need the hinges off the 78 as the number of bolts that bolt the hinges to the door changed from two to three on the later years.  I do not remember if it was just one or both (upper and lower).

What I have is a 79 wagon with a hacked up  hood from the turbo motor install and the driver side fender has a dent in it. I was wanting to use the 78 hood and fenders on the 79 and use the 78 doors on my 72.

My son put 76 doors on his 71. I got 76 doors from Fred to replace my rusty 71s but did not take the hinges at the time. My son let me know that I also needed the later hinges because of some mounting differences between the early doors and the later doors. Next time I was at Fred's, I picked them up also. I have not put them on the car yet but when my son says I need 'em, I must need 'em. Note: the later doors are MUCH heavier than the 71-72s.

Bigtimmay, in regards to changing out the front end. Is that just the sheet metal or do you have to change the radiator support, front bumper assembly? Never changed the front end on a Pinto before.

Thanks

The core support is the same. You will need all the grille mounts to bolt up the early grille & the early hood latch & mount as well.
