I just bought a 73 satellite with a RR bulge hood already on it and I have been looking up parts and most of the stuff I have looked up stops with 72 and what little I can find for 73/74 only lists roadrunners so can anyone tell me what the difference is in the RR and satellites or does everything interchange? And is it going to be a pain to find the parts I need?
 
Welcome to the forum! As Moparmarks wrote, everything will fit, but there are conditions. :)

1971-1974 Chargers, Roadrunners, and Satellites are all essentially the same and lots of parts will interchange between them, but they also have some unique parts that won't. Also, there's differences between what will fit on a pre-73 car and 73 and later cars. And worse, there's differences within the 73 model year in terms of suspension components, which makes life kinda tricky for us. :) And as a BTW, there are also E-body and C body parts that can fit our cars as well. I mention all this not to alarm you, but to let you know you may have options that will lower the price of parts.

General rule of thumb is most all interior components will interchange between 71-74 Roadrunners, Chargers, and Satellites (except for the rear lower quarter covers on 74 cars being different and some Charger sail panels being different). And by interchange, I mean they will fit but the styles/appearances may change.

Most all the sheet metal interchanges between Roadrunners and Satellites if they are 71/72 or 73/74, but not between those two groups.

All the suspension components interchange within 71-72 and 73-74 models, but not between them. And some 73 cars have 74 suspensions.

Best thing to do is just post any specific parts questions on here and someone will have the answer for you. ;)
 
Welcome to the site, many helpful members here to help you with your project. Post some pictures too!
 
welcome to FBBO, most Sebring, Sebring Plus & most all RR stuff, slight differences
here & there etc., all but some of the 4 dr sedan stuff, pretty-much a different animal
especially body wise ...

a couple of great informative sites are
www.allpar.com &
www.mymopar.com

good luck with the 73 Satty project

Hey, another one.

Welcome to the fold.

I see the plan for 1973 Plymouth B body cars to take over the world is coming to fruition.

73 was a high production year. Nice to see the love increasing for these cars.
