73 Duster - I didn't take it apart....body assembly questions

I downloaded the FSM from the mymopar site. It's for a 73 Dodge, but I figure a 73 duster & 73 Dart would be similar enough. I'll grab the parts catalogues as well, thanks for the tip.

From the parts pictures above I've learned that the driver's side door is the 74 type, not a 72 or earlier like I thought. So I think this means it should work, even tho the internals are different. Handles/cranks are in the same spot.

I live in the boonies with pretty crappy internet service, so downloading pictures is a hit or miss thing. I'll download pictures from my office when I get back to work tomorrow.

Any of the Duster/Demon/Dart Sport doors from '70-'76 will "work", meaning they'll all bolt into place, open, close, seal at the window etc. Having a '74 door with your '73 is nice because it will use the same interior panels as a '73, so they'll at least match each other when fully assembled. Internally though they're totally different- different glass, different regulators, different window hardware. Not a big deal if both doors are complete, but if they're not it means sourcing two different sets of glass and hardware. Most stuff is sold in pairs so it may be a bit of a headache.

Not to sound rude but these cars are about as simple as they get I use to help some friends that had a classic car restoration shop they would get cars in baskets crates whatever some being only a few examples made or even proto types with very little information available and restore them

So what I wanna know is why you didn't provide any useful information? Clearly you know everything there is to know, so the nice thing to do here would have been to answer one of the OP's questions. Or post something useful.
