body parts interchange?

greg fulk · 05-01-2007, 02:08 AM

not a "class" question but.... a buddy at work hit a deer friday night on the way home. the car was/is an 80 olds cutluss 265 V8 very clean. the question is what other cars will interchange with it? it need a grill hood & one fender. I told him I thought 78-80 were the same but i didn't know if a regal or monte-carlo parts would work or not? or what other years? it's just a "work car" so if a monte-carlo frount end will work that would be great.

78 and 79 are different in all of them.they are more rounded ..I think 80-83 maybe 84 are same ,just diff grilles to identify year model /Hope this helps and hope i am right .If not i am sure i will be corrected /see ya/,.,/./,./.

1978 to 1980 interchanges with each other; except the 1980 cars had the quad lights.

Just happened to remember a good site for used part research. Go to www.car-part.com. It is a search site of salvage yards and by inputting in the year,model,part you are looking for, it will list yards that have what you are looking for and what they come off of. Good for finding parts or just to see what other models may have what you are looking for. Hope this may help,Greg,or anyone else that may find this helpful.
