I am trying to help my non-internet dad out.
He's working on a 74 Plymouth Roadrunner. The rear quarter panels (?) are too rusted out and we need to find new ones.
He says the only thing that will fit there is the '73 and '74 Roadrunner or Satellite models.
Are there any other B Body cars who have rear quarter panels that would work?

Speaking from personal experience on these cars, I would invest in a phone call to this place and see what they can do for you: http://www.autobodyspecialt.com/Middlefield CT Highly recommended. If you go the salvage yard route please remember "rust free" does not mean "bondo free" or "dent free" and that you may need to spend some extra $$$ for proper packaging and shipping. Good luck to ya

Their website does now list a rear 1/4 repair panel. Anyone try it?

Not always.A few wanted ads on various message boards or Hemmings or MCG might turn up something. Maybe somebody has the parts laying around or has a wrecked showcar they are parting.
There were some aftermarket quarters produced years ago. They were not the best quality though.
Boils down to time and money.
I cannot urge strongly enough to never purchase anything sight unseen or without pictures.
edit: All I am saying is there is no easy way to call up and order these pieces like the earlier B-bodies.
