Imperial cross compatibility

[Chris RB]

Hi all, fairly new to the C-Body game and was wondering what Chrysler parts were cross compatible with Imperial. (Specifically a ‘73 Imperial). Windshields, door glass, interior & exterior odds and ends.

Cheers!

They are basically the same car from the firewall back.

So I can use a 70 New Yorker windshield and quarter windows on a 73 imperial?

Thanks

Assuming they are both hardtops, the windshield is the same. The quarter glass is not. You didn't mention that they were different year cars. Roofs and some of the glass was changed in '72. Some side glass was changed in '71 due to changes made to the window regulators, even though the body was the same from '70-'71.

Out of curiosity, what about the cruise control mechanism and stalk?

same windshield is used in all hardtop c body cars - Chrysler, Dodge, Imperial and Plymouth from 69 to 73 .

Some 73's came with the new style switch on the stalk, but you should be able to substitute the older style. The underhood unit should be the same, though the speedo drive cables could possibly be slightly longer on the Imperial.
