Only The Fronts Are Different 75-77 vs 78-79, Except The LTD,The Front Fender Is Slightly Flared More Than The STD
The Rears Are All The Same

Unless you need a UK/Euro one. They are a lot longer.

Hey wait a minute,, don't tail lights mount differently..
75-77 and 78-79 have different taillights..
Fenders are the same shape but you can't swap lights between them...

75-77 are different from 78-9 due to tail light mounts. Same for front fender as the 75-7 have the speedo cable holder/mount hole on left side-78-9 on right side.

One of my 1975 GLs' has a 79 rear fender on it,It has more clearance when pulling off the rear wheel than the gl with the 75 fender.
The 79 fender is a direct bolt up. Head
