Can anyone tell me what front fenders will interchange with a 55 Royal 4 dr? Will 53 Coronet ones work? I guess that is what I am asking what years will work? All when doing sheet metal replacement how think should it be? Thanks

I believe 55-56 Dodges and Plymouths if you replace everything. 54 and earlier will not work if you are looking for "bolt-on".

55 was a pivotal year. It was the beginning of the Forward Look. Clean separation between 54 and 55 on most things Chrysler Corp.

Fenders and core support of '55 and '56 should interchange, but you may have to do a little metal work where the badges/letters fit the different models. I find this based on the different style script used on the two years. Inner fender panels should interchange.

Otherwise, find a salvage yard with his older Hollander interchange manual. It'll tell you in a NY minute, with no guess work. . . . . .

According to Hollander 25th edition, all 1955 and 1956 Dodge front fenders interchange. There will, of course, be differences for trim holes, as was previously mentioned.

Because of the present condition of any 1955'ish front fenders that you may find - their purchase price and the shipment cost to you equal the cost of you re-moving
what you have and taking them to a place for "fixing up" and then bolting them back on.

Thanks everyone,

Yes Rodger I have thought about pulling them but if I could luck up and find some in good shape within the state it would be a good day trip.
