Is there a simple way to have the 71 cuda grill on a 74 cuda? seems like a very pricey conversion

I did it to my 72. It was different light buckets and wiring harness. It's not cheap.

Easiest way is to decide to go with AMD's 1971 fenders as well....otherwise you're getting into cutting and welding on your 74 fenders :2cents:

and if your planning on changing the rear to a 71 i dont believe the 70 rear light panel (sheet metal part) will work im trying the same thing. if im wrong someone please correct me.

70 and 71 use the same tail panel on a Cuda :2cents:

...and if you do the front fenders, and tail panel, you might as well change out the rear quarter marker lights.

Yep, not cheap.  I say keep the '74 look, and go with 70-72 bumpers.... much more cost effective.  Maybe add the V21 hood treatment for some pop.

Have the v21 hood, looks nice. Do the 70 -72 front bumper fit on a 74?

You would need the bumper brackets for 70-71 available from Roseville Moparts along with the bumper.
