The 1973 rear defroster switch is the round chrome **** on the left lower side of the main console. It is by your right knee. Zip Products makes a reproduction of the chrome ****/switch (about $18.00).
I do not know if the rear defroster grill (located in the left rear interior compartment) is currently available. Probably is available. If not available via reproduction, I would either (1) check with used corvette parts dealer, (2) repair the one you have, or (3) fabricate your own. It should be an easy piece to replicate/fabricate on your own if required.

Hi there. So...you got a pleasant suprise when you removed the rear quarters!! ME TOO!! Anyway...the only repro parts available for that blower system is the flex duct from the motor to the vent. (Doc Rebuild) SORRY!! You'll have to find a used vent and your gonna pay PLENTY It's a very fragile part so there's not many around. The control switch is located on the drivers side shift console extension.
Good Luck
