Will the fenders and windshield from a 1966 El Camino fit a 1966 Chevelle SS?

I ask because there's a 66 Elky sitting in the back of a car lot locally with no driveline or interior. That part doesn't matter to me but the fenders and windshield are in great shape. If they'll sell me the body cheap. Say under $1000 I thinking of getting it as a parts vehicle. No doubt there's a few other items my basket case Chevelle could use.

Thanks,
Ray

Thanks Keith.

If I had to guess about the windshield I'd say no myself. Which is why I'm asking ofcourse. I don't want a another car in the yard for neighbors to complain about unless I can really use it.

According to Hollander Interchange:

Windshield:
66-67 2/4 dr sedan & El Camino are the same 2494
66-67 2 dr HT & Convertible are the same 2773

Fenders are the same

Thanks CY72SS. Saved me to hassle of buying another car my wife would raise **** about. If the windshield won't fit it aint worth the effort for just decent fenders. Besides my windshield will probably do. Just some light delamination around the bottom edge which would be hidden by chrome. Though it could get worse and eventually show.

Thanks again guys. BTW I'll look into picking up that Hollander Interchange book. Sounds useful.
