You are correct - the fender is the same for the Elky and the Chevelle / Malibu from 73-77. The whole nose (fenders / hood / header panel and bumper) are identical. The doors are the same, but the glass would have to be changed out. The rear bumper is the same as a wagon only. I believe these are the only body parts the Elky shares with the Chevelle / Malibu.

If I'm not mistaken the '73 front fenders do not have marker lights in them '74-'77 do.
They are all interchangable but make sure the marker light is in the fender for the '75

I owned a 73 and it did in fact have the marker light in the fender.

Mine was an original Malibu that I changed out the Laguna nose on. Even the Laguna had the same fender from 73-77, so any fender from that time frame will fit.

Dan,
You are correct. Brainfart ,I was thinking of my '73 442. It's the '73 Olds Cutlass /442 fenders that do not have the marker light in the front fender. All other years do.
Thanks Rich.

That's alright - I just made the same mistake about the 78-81 and 82-87 fender. The older fender has no marker light, the newer does.
I tried to post an image, but I haven'e quite gotten that one down yet . . .
