Thread: (In)compatibility

So I didn't do much digging, apologies now if this is buried somewhere deep in the forum.

My question is this:

is there a compatibility list for the different makes/models?

I get that parts from a '02 GTP will probably fit another '02, but what if I go to the junkyard, grab the HVAC control unit from the salvaged '05 GT? Lets say my fuel tank leaks, can I grab one from any old GP and have it fit? What about body panels and the like? Could I make a Franken-prix with 10 years worth of interchanged parts?

In other words, for the cheap and/or junkyard junkies, what will/won't fit between the 97-03 and 04+ style?

since I don't have any specific parts in mind at the moment, maybe people can share their mishaps and successes?

thanks for the time!

That kind of stuff is good to know. Maybe I want to go cheap on upgrading my brakes, so I look for a w-body something with bigger/better brakes.

how about interior stuff? Would front seat on an 08 work in my 02?

They're a HUGE improvement over the crappy 97-03 seats.

on that note:
the heated, motorized driver's seat in my 2002, even at its lowest, makes my head hit the ceiling...any chance the other seat sits lower? I wouldnt even mind changing to an lower trim package seat if I could sit up strait without hair gel gooping up the ceiling!

Dang, its already short enough!!!

Okay, on the the next question then:

Would the AC control unit for a 04+ function correctly in my '02 GTP. (In particular the digital dual climate one). I've seen the part available on RockAuto, and most of the junkyards around here have newer model GP's.

this in regards to putting a dual climate ac control unit from 04+ in my 2002 GTP


Can anyone confirm/deny this? There are a few digital ones at the scrapyard that I'd like to see about
