I am restoring a 71 Satellite Sebring. The front and rear suspension was removed from it before I got it. The question I have is will the front suspension from a 68 Fury VIP fit in the Satellite?
Will I be able to use any of the front suspension parts?

68 Fury is a C body your Satellite is B body nothing interchanges...
I wasn't sure if I could use it since the front suspension was cut out. I should still be able to use the rear in my car right? It has an 8 3/4 in it.

What do you mean by "cut out" are the attaching points all still intact? Is the K member still in the car?
Upper control arms, spindles, tie rods, torsion bars, are all pretty easy 66-72 B body & 70-74 E body
Lower control arms, sway bar are 70-72 B body & 70-74 E body... Drag link I believe is 71-72 B body & 70-74 E body
What I mean is they took a torch and cut out the entire suspension. I saved this car from the crusher at a scrap yard.

Somebody needs to attach a pic of a 71 Bbody engine compartment with the suspension removed so he can see what needs to be there in order to mount a new suspension setup. I have a feeling the shock towers have been cut of the inner fenders and the frame rails may even have been cut off.
