So this could be fun. As we all experienced buying the older cars and parts off other cars for it, how many model years can you prove are in your car. Or what years do you have to look up just to get certain replacement parts?

My car: 1972 Plymouth Duster

1967 Dart power brake booster
1968 B Body 8-3/4
1969 casting 340
1970 hood and trunk lid
1971 production date
1972 model year
1973 disc brake swap
Volare front brake hoses

lessee

car itself: 71 duster

75 motor home: engine and transmission
68 dart: rear end
69 valiant: grille
chevy calipers
toyota discs
tahoe brake hoses

i think those are the most noteworthy parts (the last 3 of course came from a scare bird front brake conversion kit)

Diymirage, that is a great looking Duster, makes me want to grab a 69 Valiant grille for mine.
Thanks man

IMHO the Valiant grille is the best looking grille for that year duster, specially since it goes so well with the tail light

Best part is, it was pretty much a drop in

(Worst part is, it is a one year grill, so hard to find, and the marker lights were used only on the 69 valiant AND THE 69 Daytona, so the can be pricey)
