Dart Sport will work. Regular Dodge Dart (i.e.: Swinger, Valiant, etc.) window contours are different than Duster/Demon/Dart Sport and won't fit the roof/a-pillar shape. 1973 doors have unique window mounting locations inside so if you need to replace the glass, you'll need 1973 glass. 1973...

Dart Sport & Demon windshields will interchange with a Duster. FYI: Door glass for '73 is one year only..

AAR Fiberglass made nice ones but they closed their doors recently. 1972 is obviously the flat hood (Demon) version and 1973+ is the contoured (Dart Sport) version. Some sellers don't know the difference or don't care. The flat version fits more cars that didn't have the scoop as an option, like...

This is the 1972 only version. The green car in the OP photo are correct for 1971, but they appear to be too close together.

FYI, the 3 piece, full width taillight bezels were a 1975 model year only application. The poor manufacturing quality just compounds there difficulty in finding decent ones. Same situation with 1975 Dusters.

Yes, they are the same, except for one little item which doesn't affect the interchangeability. I forgot the details, but some grille turn signal lenses are clear and some are amber. Looks like a nice front clip. I think you should be able to do well selling it against the '75 parts...

My chassis started out as an earlier '74 so it had provisions for standard bumper brackets and the corresponding conventional bumper. It also came with a smaller, formed reinforcement plate that fit between the brackets & bumper, but could be removed. Your '75 chassis was designed for the "shock...

It's been a long time since I converted my '74 Duster to a '75 Dart Sport but I'm pretty sure the hood latch tray has to be changed for the shorter '75 Dart hood. Not sure if the support under the tray is different. I don't know if the engine bay cowl-to-fender braces are different. I left those...

Once the black is chemically stripped off, the hard part will be the detail to paint just the areas that are supposed to be black and keeping he remaining metal polished if you're trying to maintain the original look. I think the areas inside the headlight circle may have had a silver "haze"...

'73-'76 Dart Sport hoods have the same contours and will interchange with a '69 Barracuda hood, but I was told that the corresponding hinges must be used because the bolt hole spacing to attach the hood to the hinges is different. Lift-off fiberglass won't matter but the bolt spacing will on...

It had "aftermarket" welds. Only inner fenders were spot welded.

Look on the bright side. The weight is where you need it for traction! :thumbsup:

Feather Duster and Dart Lite hoods are about 12-15 lbs lighter than all steel. Gotta have the hood springs too. Standard hood springs are too stiff and can tweak the hood in the middle. FWD Daytona, Shadow, etc. will fit, but are a tad too light. . I use a wooden prop stick too. Trunk lid had...

'73-'74 Dart Sport scoop is contoured correctly. But there is also a flat version that was used on the '72 demon....if you like that style.

I was told that you just need to use the Dart hinges with the Dart hood on a '69. You can also use a Dart Lite hood, which is about 15 lbs lighter due to the aluminum bracing underneath. But then you have to find the right springs. I have both, standard & Lite. But I don't know how close the...

'73+ Dusters never had a factory scoop option. But it's a popular add-on. (Edit: However, the "Twister" option appears to have been available with a couple of little non-functional scoops. Not a common item.)

Yes, you need the leverage. There is a member called Atomic Dog who made them for glass hoods. The hood springs from FWD Daytonas, Shadows, etc. are a little lighter than Dart Lite/Feather Duster hood springs which go with the aluminum braced hoods on those cars. But they are stronger than the...

You'll have to swap the entire front clip and include the lighter hood hinge springs because of the lighter hood (12-15 lbs lighter). The standard hood springs are too stiff and will try to bend the hood when trying to close it. You'll also have to modify the front frame to mount the "shock...

Mine Dart isn't much of a show car, but maybe this will help you get a better perspective of the option to paint the trim.

There will be a gap that the trim covers. Have you considered painting the trim black?

He might be having trouble fitting/installing the gasket, but the the rear glass all fit the same - all years Duster, Demon, Dart Sport.

Ok, so it still boils down to '74 fronts having either. Just gotta I.D. them by the carriage bolt pattern and/or brackets.

No. As mentioned, '73 and a lot of '74's had regular bumper brackets. Late '74 model run started using the "5mph" bumpers which stuck out more and used shock absorber style brackets in the front. All '74's on up had the shock absorber style brackets on the rear. The later bumpers also have...

If the studs are in the correct location, some of them (middle ones?) line up with existing holes in the underside support structure.

I put a '75/'76 grille into a '73/'74. The headlight bezels are different between the grilles so they have to be swapped as a set. The '75/'76 has a "filler" attached underneath because the bumpers stick out more (shock absorber style bumper brackets). Not sure if a '73/'74 grille will...

Thank you. The regular bumper brackets up front do have a steel plate sandwiched between the brackets & bumper, if I remember correctly. That can be removes for some weight savings without any custom work, You can also "swiss cheese" the front brackets. But please don't get carried away...

If your front bumper assembly has the "shock absorber" bumper brackets, like the rear, you can save a lot of weight by switching to '73 or early '74 bumpers, which have standard brackets holding them to the frame. But you will have to do some fabrication to attach the older brackets to the...

Yes, it's true. But I heard you have to use the hinges from the body the hood came from because attachment points to the hood are different between the Barracuda and Dart Sports. This also means that you can put a Dart Lite hood on a '69 Barracuda (with correct hinges), but you also need the...

Make sure you don't buy a later year shock absorber bracket bumper. Bumper & bracket combo would be best. They do not interchange. Standard Duster brackets are different from Dart Sport also.

I did it years ago when replacing the stock springs with "lighter" ones for a Dart Lite hood. It probably involved big vice grips, big screwdrivers and a towel for some protection. But I don't recall any details.
