66 Coronet and Belvedere Interchangeable Parts

[mustbemad]

I'm just starting to learn about all the similarities between B Body cars - its fascinating how they mixed and matched!

A very specific question which I'm struggling to confirm - are 1966 Coronet and Belvedere bumpers identical? They definitely look it, but not many of either car in the UK to check up close!

Thanks!

They are not...

I've been told that you can swap front ends between the two and the belt lines will match but never really looked at them like that. I think it would look kinda funky for them to wear the wrong front ends....

Thanks for the quick reply!

That's a shame - I'll carry on hunting

I remember a '66 Coronet in Oklahoma in the late '80s that had a '66 Belvedere II front sheetmetal on it. Looked odd, but it did fit with a few mods.
