You need the factory service manual and a dealer parts catologue. I don t have the links, I got both of mine on Amazon. I am just old enough that I need to flip pages back and fourth
Welcome to the C body family. Secondly welcome to the world of hard to find parts. As far as B body sheet metal fitting a C body it doesn't. Now that being said the drive train is the same motors , transmissions and the internals of the rear end. As for the interior maybe the odd arm rest. They are 2 totally different body platforms. If you let us know what your looking for there are a lot of people here on fcbo that are happy to help you out. Take a lot of pictures and post them it's a big help
As said, the engine transmission and gears for the rear end will swap, everything else is unique. Parts change between certain C bodies.

One of the things I like about C-bodies is you can't just pick up a catalog and order every part you need.
As for B-C-whatever parts interchanges, one of the GREAT things about the earlier (compared to now) Chrysler parts books is their "grid system" of how things are laid out. The body series and divisions are on the upper horizontal menu. The parts names (and other particulars related to the particular part description) are on the lh vertical listing.
The parts are divided into "groups", which you'll see in the front index page. Go to that group, find the part description (Chrysler's "names" might not be quite what you might term something, but it all makes sense once you understand how they "name" things. . . more engineering-related than "street names", typically). Then find the appropriate model in the upper menu, then, where the horizontal line from the part name and the vertical line from the model designation crosses, the quantity of the item needed per vehicle is listed. Then, continue to the rh column and you'll find the part number. It's all pretty easy to decipher, compared to the earlier GM books. Chrysler relies more on Option Codes for many things whereas you had to know "the coded description" of where the part went (as the earlier Chevy catalogs). Once you get the hang of it, pretty easy.
As for the desired crosses between the model platforms, that is so easy with the Chrysler system as one book covers all carlines (truck chassis models are separate).
Welcome aboard and holler if there's anything you might need!
