Default corvette interchangeable parts

As I live in Argentina and our corvette market is tiny around 200 c3 nation wide (if not less). We have to import all parts even simple things as brake pads, hoses, nuts, washers, etc. This makes every restoration project take time (shipping times) and money (customs fees). Every time I go to a parts supplier even if I take the sample by saying is for a vette they say wtf car is that? So is there any way to know or can some help me find which brake and steering parts are interchangeable with chevy models we have here mostly the chevy nova 2 and 3 generation.

You can buy a Hollanders parts cross reference for Vettes. You can probably find one on ebay. That will tell you what parts from other cars interchange. Now the bad news, virtually everything in the steering and suspension are unique to C2 and C3 Corvettes.
