70-72 decklid interchangibility?

Which body style's trunk lid fits a 1970 Cutlass S hardtop? Will the Supreme/convertible type fit? How about a four door? Or am I limited to finding a good used one from a hardtop or Sport Coupe?

That is an A body style, my listing is the convertible is also listed as an A body style, and the 4 door, least what I have <~ disclaimer

I realize they're all A-bodies, but you can't put Supreme or convertible quarter panels on a hardtop. That's why I'm asking if the decklids are different.

Chevelles are also A-bodies, but you can't swap sheetmetal at random with a Cutlass.

Ok, so thats why you asked about trunk lids? I dunno, you want info about quarter panels, just ask, I was responding to a trunk lid.

Deck Lids

The three different deck lids or trunk lids for 1970-72 were: 1) Cutlass S and F85 & 442 hardtop or post cars, 2) Cutlass Supreme, 3) Cutlass convertible & Cutlass 4 door. So you will need to find one from the first group, the Supreme and 4 door won't work. John

Group A is the "fastback" body, like my car. The Supreme was the notchback body.
