I had joined fbbo in search of some help with interchangability on these cars, and it must be a much smaller community than fabo, and/or this body style is just wildly forgotten.

I have since started the transformation of my 77 monaco 2 door into a 75 roadrunner. (Kinda) lol. I have hung the new header panel on it, but im not going as far as to swap tail lights, or make it oe correct or anything. I honestly just like the single headlight much better than the dual quads.

So anyways I have started several threads over there about just utilizing the parts I like from these cars to assemble this forgotten B body using the parts I feel are the best looking from this body style, considering 90 percent of the world is going to think its a first gen monte Carlo anyways. Lol

So unanswered questions....that I have bumped numerous times over there with little or no reply.

Can the door panels be interchanged from a magnum or cordoba? They are much Better looking than my monaco ones...

My other debacle is the quarter windows. I have found at least 4 completely different quarter window variations with these cars. Problem being that MY quarter windows appear to Only have came with the half Landau top. Problem for me considering I am missing some vinyl top trim, and I'd much much rather run a hard top.

Please let me know any insight on the windows or door panels.

Thanks all for reading my post!
 
yes you are dealing with a very small niche no doubt. it might be tough finding anyone that can answer your questions. I don't know where to refer you, sorry.
 
my guess is the guys that play with the aspens, magnums etc... are the guys most likely to have some knowledge of your questions. I would post under the F<M<J forum, but again not a lot of people there either?? might just take time to find someone with much parts knowledge of these cars>?

Don't think i'd have much more success on the FMJ forum considering it's a B under the skin.
I'll just have to keep digging. thanks.
 
I have had many 75 76 77 cordobas and chargers but no plymouths. I am going to say that the doors are the same and that the panels will pop right on. And no , there is not much love for these later b bodies, most have been parted out or crushed
 
I have owned both a '77 Fury Sport and a '75 Road Runner. I'm not sure about the interchangeability of the parts you mentioned but when I get back to my other computer I can post some pics that might help.

Thanks! Check out the pics I posted on fbbo thread above....at least 4 Window configurations... the door panels im guessing will swap, but not so sure about the rear kicker panels, as again the window may sabotage me there.
