What other car parts will fit my 1972 El Camino?

I got a 1972 Elky that im working on. Trying to find out what other car(Model, Make, Year) parts will also fit my car. Informatino would be much appreciated. Maybe a website or so...|||it's based off the chevelle/malibu wagon. third generation. 68-72.





physical fitment of sheet metal/glass/interior from the front bumper to the "B" pillars will be the same with any 70-72 chevelle/malibu wagon or sedan. with some changes to trim. doors will be of two door config. 68-69 were different in regards to sheet metal. but the platform is the same.





engine and drive train is ridiculously interchangeable with just about anything relating to a chevy V8 up to 72. later as well, but the motors around 73-74 start getting EPA choked. dual diaphragm distributors, AIR pumps and lower compression. anything after 74 will be "in distributor" coil packs. 74 was last year for points.





not personally familiar with any sites, but you can imaging there is a large community of chevelle/malibu/camino sites. i hate saying this, but i would just google camino or chevelle/malibu forums. start reading and see which site has a good community and plenty of resources.





for anything more specific, i use various auto supply sites such as Rockauto.com. look for the part and click on the part number. a pop-up will appear revealing other apps.





there is also the local wrecking yard. you know they will have the most extensive info on interchangable parts on the planet. thats what they do.





owner 67 cutlass, 64%26amp;74 nova|||chevellesrus.com....68 through 72, chevelle, el camino, and gmc sprint all have some parts that are changeable
