is the trunk keyhole cover useable on a Dip?

I think wiper arms are different being different size of car and setup. Sockets are worth getting if they are still clean. Probably the various trim screws. Other then the radio I always skipped over them in yards because there's not much.
Trunk flip is different if you look at the back they're shaped to fit specific trunk lids.

they've become very rare. only compatible stuff i come across regularly are Dakotas, Ram Vans, the occasional Ram and RamCharger (still mad i didn't get the police rims that were on one) and K Caravans/Voyagers. someone said i ought to get the leaf springs off these? these are semi common but thinning out fast. always really gross on the inside. i got a roof console out of one. somewhat similar to those out of a Fifth Avenue if anyone is looking for one
@Reggie wanted to make one of those Pentastars compatible with the Dip to have one huge star on the front of the car. i might copy that idea
looking, a yard in Bmore has a 75 Valiant. hmmm. has dog dishes without holes. 1975 Plymouth Valiant Used Auto Parts | Baltimore - Hawkins

@MoparDan is using a wiper arm off a Horizon I think. Maybe the Reliant and the Horizon don't use the same arms. Different linkages underneath though.
It's a pain the in the ass to find wiper arms that aren't all worn out for M bodies. You can find the earlier mopar arms that take the old school wipers no problem and you can find the newer arms easy.
The minivans have the police spring shackles allegedly. Some people really really want a set.
That Valiant has a ton of nice stuff on it. You could make a few hundred bucks selling the parts on FABO. The steering wheel with horn switch with the horn pad alone is worth the trip. The money is in the horn switch.
Go on FABO and see what they get for ratty seats and other interior parts like glove boxes.

how often do you guys come across M's in junkyards now? here its a maybe once a year thing. still kicking myself of not barrowing work's sawzall and cutting up this gross gold Fifth up in York, PA. the ones that do show up always look like they've been sitting in the middle of the woods for years and are disgusting to be in. there was the one 79 Lebaron that looked like someone really loved it though. trunk full of spare parts i kindly appropriated and free tools. i even got a free hat out of it! someone else the the front bumper so hopefully it's keeping another car other than my Fury alive. i still need to replace my dash cover with the one from this car. even had an HVAC module with the famous plastic bit still intact!
if any of you are near Harrys U-Pull-It Hazle Township, PA it looks like someones old school Mopar collection got junked. 79 Cordoba, 75 Scamp, a bunch of Ram Pickups from the 70s, 80s. a little too far for me but hopefully one of y'all can get something before they're crushed

There are a few FMJs running around upstate NY. Junkyard FMJs are rare up here. The salt took most of them. If it hadn't been for this forum, I wouldn't have known about a Volare in a nearby yard. And if I hadn't gotten a tip on that car, I wouldn't have any weather stripping in my car.
Without ebay and Craigslist alerts and lurking on the mopar forums, my entire project would be screwed

Haven't seen any around here for a few years. Last one was a clean Florida car, I regret not taking metal off it. I needed that and still do shortly after.
