Cuda front lower valence insert
« on: December 31, 2016 - 05:46:43 PM »
Hello everyone. Well this is my first post and it's a question. I have a 74 Cuda and am on the process of doing a complete pro touring build on the car. I wanted to eliminate the two light located on the original lower 74 valence. I was told I could do this by replacing it with the 1970 valance insert. They look very similar in shape and size by the pics I have seen, but dose anyone know if the 70 will actually fit?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Jamie

I am using headlights with the turn/marker lights built in. I always hated those 72-74 square lights.

Just wanted to thank everyone for the great welcome, and the help. I will psot some pics of the Cuda, she is in right now getting some new rear quarters, trunk floor and some other goodies.
It's a pro touring, rest-mod build. Thanks again
