There is no difference between wagon/El Camino fenders and Chevelle fenders. None of the GM A-body cars had specific fender stampings within their brand, the only difference would have been trim holes and nothing more. There were some minor differences (one example were GTO-only fenders for 1970), but those differences did not keep them from bolting onto any A-body shell from that particular GM division.

The Pontiac fenders won't have the correct outer contours to line up with the El Camino doors, but they should bolt up to the cab. Using Pontiac door skins and rear quarter skins skillfully grafted on should get you the right look.

The wagon/Elcamino fenders are not the same as a Chevelle from 70-72.The 68/69 fenders are all the same.

I agree, the wagon/ElCamino fenders from 70-72 have more of a curve on the side, than the 2 door fenders. I wasn't sure if Pontiac was the same.

El Camino / wagon doors & fenders were different, other years too. Fenders have been repoed so you can look that up easily.

If you like the look as I do go for it.

Default Yes!

It gets my vote, IF, and ONLY IF, it has a Pontiac motor. That will be just a little bit of revenge for all the old goats and birds that have been disgraced by replacing their Pontiac motor with a Chevy motor.
Hey, I realize that opinions differ--that's mine!
