I'm afraid not. 69-72 Chevy fenders are orphans. You need '68 Chevy/68-72 GMC fenders. The front of 69-72 Chevy fenders are shorter at the front and are indented for the grille surround to fit flush. 69-72 GMC fender surrounds just cap over the '68 style fenders. Too bad Chevy didn't do that.

The search box at the top will help you find lots of pics from this forum,...

The white fender is 69-72 chevy only.
The blue fender is 68 chevy or 68-72 GMC.
