Q.
Can anyone help with finding part cars or parts like seats for a 1974 Chev Caprice Classic? Mine is a convertible, but think hard top is the same and I don’t know what years or models are the same please help.A.
Second Generation (1971-1976) Caprice’s share many of the same components. Although year-to-year styling components did change, including items like: grilles, taillights, trim and interior upholstery. While you are correct in assuming the 2-door sedan Caprice, shared the same seat frame as it’s convertible counterpart, It is likely the upholstery materials and design was different between the two. As convertibles of the period would often receive the solid vinyl or leather interiors, to protect the interior in the event the top was left down.
Your 1974 does share most of the same parts between the 1973 and 1974 models. But don’t limit your search for parts there… Your car also shares many parts from its B-Body cousins (Oldsmobile Delta 88’s, Buick LeSabre’s and Pontiac Grand Ville’s) and can be an excellent source of parts.

Try the larger salvage yards in Tucson or Phoenix Arizona. Nothing rusts there so there are lots of old cars and parts available.

Dear Rodney,
Than you for your patience, here is what the experts had to say:
We’re unaware of anyone reproducing these moldings leaving you to search for good originals.
Salvage yards rarely list trim in their inventory, but they do list other parts,
I would search car-part.com (http://car-part.com/) for 1970 Caprice Quarter panels and that would tell me they had one in inventory.
You could then call or visit them to see if there is still rocker panel trim on the car.
A quick search reveals several available across the country.
