Curious, as what I remember hearing before, are things like the dash and other non-body panel related electronics compatible between a 71 charger with a 71 Coronet? I was always told the coronet is just the non-performance (and in the early 70's, the 4 door version) of the charger?
 
From firewall ( firewall included ) to front everything of the unybody parts.

Rear frame rails? Maybe. Not sure about trunk floor.

Electrically... around 95% BUT I don't think Coronets got Rallye clusters? So we are talking about just Standard Cluster setups. Sure the full dash frame is the same.

Aaand we are also talking about year against year. 71/72s got same differences with 73/74 on Coronets like Chargers. Some other differences are one year only, like the firewall for 74 is diff than earliers due the diff shape of the steering column provision ( taken from A bodies I think ), and this applies for both of course

This answers a lot of what I was looking at. I need to replace a lot of things on the interior, however, the main one being the dash pad. If the dash frame is the same, minus the rallye dash, I assume a pad can be sourced for a 71 charger that would fit my 71 coronet. I also need to look at a bunch of different smaller items, both interior and inside the engine bay.
 
Interior, just the dash and pretty sure also kick panels. Nothing more.

K member, Suspension parts also the same, once again considering years.

Dash pad is 100% same. Mine came from a 71 Coronet sedan.

The bench seat hinge covers are the same, also. Dome light too.
 
Dome light is the same for around 85% of Mopars. I think just some C bodies got their owns
