    Interchange parts

    Can anyone tell me where I can find a listing of interchangeable parts? I have a 72 skylark and parts are hard to find in my area and expensive to order. I'm looking for seats and a dash pad for my car. If you know if a place please let me know. Thanks

    http://www.buickperformanceclub.com/bucketschart.htm Gives some basics, but any 40 odd year old seat, no matter where it's from is going to be less than pristine.

    Dash pad for 70-72 skylark.
    yea, for seats, whatever fits and makes you happy. I have aftermarket buckets in one of mine.

    for the rest of the car, not much interchanges with anything but a skylark.

    So will the dash and seats from a 68 fit in my 72? I found one that someone is parting out.

    Are you trying to do a stock resto? If not, check out other A-body seats, like Chevelle, F-85, and Tempest. Look at the same cars for door panels if you need them. The dash pad might be a little tougher to find.

    No not a stock resto. Do I need to look for a 72 model of those cars or is there a range of years I can look at?

    Skylark stuff is pretty much skylark specific.

    70-72 dash pad will work. 68 will not. You will need to find a 70-72 skylark for parts for yours.

    Exceptions to this is frame, seat belts and trunk lid with other GM A body cars from 72. I am sure steering column might work. Seats might work if you drill new holes.
