Hey everyone,
I am new to the forums here, but am a Mopar enthusiast! I recently picked up a 1973 Road Runner as a project, but I am having a hard time finding replacement parts. Are there other B-bodies that fit the roadrunner? It is in pretty bad shape, and I don't think many of the quarter panels are gonna be salvageable. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Chris

Re: Parts??
Welcome Chris!
Many 71-74 B-body (Dodge Charger and Plymouth Satellite, Road Runner ,GTX) parts will work on your 73. However, many parts are specific to 73-74 only. Heck, there are even some E-body parts (mainly drivetrain, steering and suspension) that apply.
I suggest getting a factory service manual and/or parts manual either hard copy or electronic (.pdf)
Post up some want ads here under the appropriate section. There's always eBay, Craigslist and other B-body forums too. Oh, some of us still use Mopar Collectors Guide magazine for the classifieds
