1970 Toronado questions

[sg70toro]

A few questions about 1970 Olds Toronado:

1. Will the door handles from a 2-dr 1970 Cutlass/442 fit on my car?

2. I noticed that Year One sells center caps for a Cutlass, just the cap that fits over the center of the bare wheel, is that the same one that went on the 70 Toro?

3. How do you replace the light bulb for the AC controls? Also, is there a separate bulb for the fan switch and the dial?

4. Does anyone make replacement quarter panels, skins, or rear wheel well patch panels?

Thanks.

Answers to:

1. I can't check that until Monday. My parts book is at work. I'm tempted to say they are the same, but not sure.

2. See answer #1. Something tells me they are different.

3. Toronado dashes are fun. To access that bulb, I think you're going to have to drop the dash, which involves dropping the column. If you choose to do this, you'll want to replace all of the bulbs while you are in there. More than likely one bulb for the whole control assembly. You may be able to change that bulb from the bottom, but I doubt it. The last time I was in a Toro dash was about 5 years ago, so things are a little fuzzy.

4. I don't think so.

Toronado handles don't interchange with anything. Discontinued in '77 and '78. I couldn't track any down through my usual channels.

Hubcaps don't interchange, either.
