...Will the front suspension be interchangable?...
Yes

Also, would the rear seat in a 72 hardtop fit in a 70 convertible?
Nope. Convertible rear seats are different.

Does the radiator support interchange?
Nope. 71-72 are the same, but 70 is different. It's due to the taller grilles, the same reason why the hood doesn't work either.

Quote:
I'm assuming the doors interchange. Is the door glass any different for the convertible?
Doors and glass are the same, but you'll need to transfer the wedge plates from the old convert doors.
