Are the hood, doors, front fenders, trunk lid from a 1976 Gran Torino the same as a 1973 Gran Torino fastback? Need an answer quick!

I'm pretty sure everything, but the trunk lid is the same. Hopefully more guys will chime in to confirm.

Carlos pretty much remembered correctly.  All will interchange including the trunk. The door glass is different between the fastback cars and the formal roof cars though, but the doors themselves are the same.

 
I hope this helps!

I believe it's the same too, but I can't confirm because I don't have the mercury parts catalog.  Maybe someone else will know for sure.
