Sounds like you're missing the lower panel if you're asking for the metal piece that fills in between the side of the seat and the side panel? If it's just the side panel? Someone here will have them, or you can buy them new from Legendary Interiors, or PUI.

You need to make the pictures bigger so they can be seen more easily.

That sounds like B85 Belt moldings. Is the piece about 1 1/4" wide and sits on the top of the quarter panel next to the window?

Let's try again.

Ah, I misunderstood. The part you are talking about gets the inner panel stapled to it as part of the finished panel. The metal part you're looking for is NOT reproduced. The best solution is to find someone with inner panels in ANY condition and rebuild them with new material. Donor parts for this can be from 70, 71, 72 Cutlass Supreme ONLY because of the roof line design.
Here are a couple of guys close to you that part out these cars regularly and have the panels you're looking for:

Eric (jensenracing77) in Brazil Indiana
Scott (Oldspackrat) in Indianapolis Indiana
Brian (OLDS507) in Erie Pennsylvania

This isn't a great picture, but I think this is what you're looking for?

Not as far as I know. The only ones that MIGHT would be Chevelle, Skylark and Tempest (T37) since they have basically the same body line.

If you already have them coming from Scott, they will be a perfect fit replacement part for your car.

The shape of the quarter window is different. The panels will not interchange.
