Yes, my Duster has the V21 code on the fender tag. To the best of my knowledge, there were 3 different style hood scoop options. The snorkel hood w/ center stripe, longer outer hood scoops (plastic/fiberglass), and the shorter Cuda scoops (pot metal). The ones on my Duster are the shorter...

Congrats! Great looking Duster, saw it this weekend as soon as i entered the WOW Indy. Job well done on your build!

1973 Plymouth Duster w/ 17" Cragar Eliminator 500's. 17x7 (4.25" BS) w/ 225/45/17 on front and 17x8 (4.5" BS) w/ 255/45/17 rear. Stock suspension and a-body 8.75 rear w/ BBP axles. Front suspension adjusted a little below stock height.

I finally selected a set of wheels for my 73'Duster. They are Cragar Eliminator 500's in 17x7 (4.25" BS) front and 17x8(4.5" BS). The original tires selected were NITTO 450's 225/50/17 Front and 275/50/17 Rear, but the fronts rubbed the fender and rears were to tight for my taste. So, I ended up...

440 power! Looking good, keep the pics coming as you go. What wheel/tire combo are you running (Brand, size, BS, etc...)? Looking for new wheels currently for my 73 Duster 340.

Of all the Duster owners, no one is running a 17 x 8 on fronts? Please respond if so.

Does anyone have 17 x 8 w/ 4.5" BS on all four wheels? If so, what size tires are you running front & rear? Any issues with clearance, handling or spacer requirements? Stock front end with 8.75 w/BBP/ drums in rear. Post pics if you are running this set-up...please. The wheels that I am...

Is anyone running 1.03 torsion bars on a duster/demon with a 340? If so, how stiff is it? I am replacing my front end suspension bushings with PST's polygraphite kit / 1 1/8" sway bars/KYB shocks and don't want it to ride like a tank. Not planning on racing, just using as a weekend cruiser...

Anyone else have 17" or 18" wheels on dusters/demons? List see them and the specs (size, back space,tire size, etc..)

Thanks for all the information and help. What I am leaning toward for my 73 Duster are some Cragar 500's, either chrome or grey. Will 17x8 with 4.5"BS fit on front and rear or will I need to go witha 17x8 w/ +6 offset / 4.25 BS? Also, any recommendations on tire sizes if these wheels will...

I am looking at 17" or 18" wheels for my 73 Duster and not sure what size fits, backspacing, tire size, etc... Please post any pictures and specs that you have on your Duster that fit this setup. I am currently running an a-body 8.75 BBP axles, ESPO 6-leaf springs +1" overstock, 10-2.5" drums in...

Is your abody 8.75 still available? Do you live in Houston, Tx?
