68 oldsmobile delmont help

I've been looking on here about parts or what will interchange with the delmont. I've been told the 67-8 delta 88s and 98s front end parts will and few other thing I'm needing hood if I can repair mine due to were its rusted. Also grill bumpers mine not beat up but chrome bad. Most posts I see are old just wondering if its true

1967 body parts do NOT interchange with 1968. The front end sheet metal and rear bumper are one year only.

Except for grilles and scripts, all 1968 fullsize Oldsmobiles (Delmont/Delta 88, Ninety Eight) use the same front end sheetmetal and bumper.

Other sheetmetal is common between same series and body style, i.e. Delmont 88 and Delta 88 2-door hardtops are the same except for trim details.

Other things such as glass and weather stripping are common to ALL 1968 (and some 1967) GM B-body cars of same body style. As in a 1968 Impala, Catalina/Bonneville or LeSabre/Wildcat 2-door hardtop windshield and other glass will fit your Delmont. Handy to know when the catalog says Chevrolet but ignores the BOP versions.

ID'ing series and bodystyle

Just for reference and making it easier to tell if a part fits. 3 designates Oldsmobile.

Delmont 88 is 35400 series
Delta 88 is 36400
Delta 88 Custom is 36600
Ninety Eight is 38600

Body style 87 (as in 35487) is 2-door hardtop or Holiday Coupe in Olds-speak.

69 is 4-door sedan (car has a B-pillar between doors and windows)

39 is 4-door hardtop (no B-pillar) Holiday Sedan in Olds-speak

67 is a convertible

Body style designation uses the same numbers on all General Motors vehicles.

Why difficult?🙂

Sure, you can't build it out of a catalog like you can a Chevy or even a Cutlass, but the parts are out there.

Knowing what other GM cars cross-reference to your car helps, is why I posted the body style info.

I've got a hood I think is good, but shipping something that huge from Oregon would be spendy. Is it part of the support that's rusty, or is it into the skin? Maybe I could cut out the portion you need and ship just that?
