Go Woke, Go Broke.
Everybody's got to start somewhere. No one did anything they were instantly an expert at. Better to ask first than to ask after you're *** deep in crap.
I'm bracing for flogging and the flame... Dumb questions...

I would know the parts weren't a direct swap if someone had given me a straight answer as opposed to a snarky euphemism. ;)
I haven't seen any C bodies in person. That changes on Saturday.

Boo hoo snowflake. You're the one who said you were ready to get flamed and that it was a dumb question. Now I'm supposed to second-guess whatever you write?

The only parts that swap easily are from the 68 New Yorker. I prefer the NYer grill and frankly if I were to buy a 68 Newport convertible it would end up with NYer grill and tail lights. Just my preference. Personally I think you've picked a very sharp car.
When you said it will be going off to the lift to go over the brakes will you be doing the work or someone else? When I did my NYer I found that the bleeders in the wheel cylinders were metric, urgh.
Also I looked at the under hood picture you posted I don't see anything there that shouldn't be there. I would be an FSM and start reviewing it before removing anything. You don't want to make any headaches for yourself.
You can check out the thread where I've documented a lot of the resuscitation my NYer The Saga of the Ugly Duckling.
Enjoy getting acquainted with your new ride.

I'll be doing most of the work myself. I'll be downloading the FSM shortly, right now I'm weighing options of transporting it.

I forgot to mention that it looked like the master cylinder on your car is a disc brake master. Toward the end of my thread you'll see that I had issues getting to brake correctly because someone before me put the wrong master on it.
Yeah, mines a 4dr sedan, but mechanically they are pretty much the same.

From what I read in the post regarding your MC, mine is correct for drums, 2 equal sections.
The one you posted has 2 different sizes sections:
The one on my car-to-be has equal sections .
Two equal sections is a drum brake MC. When you get that far, wiper motors were not painted in most cases from the factory. They had a natural metal finish on both the motor body and the pot metal gear drive assembly Many rebuilt units were painted flat black. Brake boosters were typically a flat matte black although some had a natural metal finish also.

It's a beautiful blue Chrysler Fast Top with A.C.
Leave it alone because by judging what you asked, you shouldn't be mucking around with it.

I just watched a bunch of 68 Newport videos on YouTube.
I'm not changing anything about this car. These people are making me sick.

The people who do that are no different than the people who throw newborn puppies into rivers.
Like John, I too am versed in 68 Chrysler.
There's a few of us here that can help.
None of the 66 Chrysler body panels interchange.
Yet the majority of the mechanical do interchange to a certain point.
Yet the 67 68 Chrysler are same with the exception of the rear tail panel and some front clip .
Some wiring and engine brackets are different IIRC
I would suggest to keep the mods simple and tasteful, Less work yet rewarding.
Blackout the original grille,or go New Yorker grille.
Paint the tail panel argent silver or satin black--details like that which are reversible and simple to do.
If you like the look of a 66 buy one.

I love the 66 300 and have the luxury of being the caretaker of my buddy Rene's family heirloom..
I have first hand experiance in the 66 68 comparison.
