C body interchange question

I may have an opportunity to pick up an old Chrysler convertible.  It's a 69 that is absolutely rusted to nothing but the 440 and trans seem to be okay.  I'm wondering how much of the other parts are useable (and saleable) since there isn't a huge group of folks restoring C-bodies.  Examples would be like power top motors or power window motors, switches, headlight motors, any of that sort of stuff fit other applications?

ummmm    I believe all of the following will change over but don't quote me on it     haha

Wiper Motor
Door Handles ? (save all the clips from inside the doors)
Power Window Motors
Power Top Motor (available new but if it still works....)
Switches (usually most are used in multiple applications)
Master cylinder
Most brake parts (rotors, booster, calipers, drums, hardware)
Bucket seats are the same as a B-body ?
Side Markers
Mirrors
Arm Rests
Arm Rest Bases
Center Console and shifter (if floor mounted)
Most of the wiring connectors

Take as many of the nuts and bolts you can!


Exhaust manifolds are C-body specific

Differential housing can be narrowed

Save all the trim - most of this stuff is hard to find so someone may need it...   EBay fodder
