I have a set of 1970 front fenders. Can someone tell me the difference between Chevelle fenders, Elcamino fenders, and Station Wagon fenders? My understanding is the Elcamino & Station Wagon fenders are identical and the Chevelle fenders are different. If this is correct, how can I easily tell which fenders I have? If my understanding is not correct, please let me know.
Thank you.

Wagon/El Camino fenders are flat from the top bend of the fender down to the wheel well. Chevelle fenders have another body line in them above the wheel well that skirts out a little. Look at pictures for 70 Chevelles and El Caminos on this site and you will see the difference.

El Camino/SW fenders have a ridge that goes a cross the bottom of the fender, the part near the door.

Chevelle fenders are smooth in that area.

Look at the elco's fender at the bottom, see that straight ridge that goes throught the bottom? Lines up with the elco body

now look at this 'velle fender, see how its smoot at the bottom? this mathes the contour of a velle door.
