Would it be safe to assume most of the generic parts for a regular Cutlass will owrk on my 83 H/O? I am in need of a window motor, a blower motor, door weatherstripping, and a few interior parts (non H/O trim, console armrest. carpet, seat trim..etc) If so, does anyone know the range of years these types of parts will work?

Thanks for any advice, just getting started and trying to learn all I can before I dive head first into this project.

81-88 are pretty much the same and all the parts you mention are also used on non-Hurst Cutlass. The w/strip and electrical are used on all GM G-body coupes.

Be warned. Those armrest tops can get expensive esp in certain colors.

Thanks. Mine is the elusive grey interior, no T-Top. Seats are salvageable, although drivers needs upholstery. Door panels have the usual early-80s wear and tear. The window felts and rubber is totally shot; I have the car in a carport but I think those are gonna be the first investment, just to keep inside the doors dry if it does get rained on. Got slight rust forming inside bottom edges as it is, need to get that stabilized for now.

Yeah most parts from 81-88 are interchangeable. Good interior parts can be hard to find but be patient because they are out there. I am lucky that my interior is in good condition but that armrest is hard to find. I have t-tops so it is faded.

Checking out gbodyforum.com now, thanks. I have already told my better half if I find a good local parts car we may have to make room....
