Ok so I own a 70 duster, /6 auto. Drum brakes, 7 1/4 rear. I have tried doing a little searching And haven't had very much luck so sorry for the noob question.. But the question is I found a 73-76 solid parts car it's got bucket seats, disc brakes, v8, v8 k member. and a 8 3/4. As I understand the only difference between a 70 and a 73+ is basically cosmetic sheet metal correct? Will these key parts bolt in with minimal issues? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.. Thank you much
 
The 8 3/4 will be a direct bolt in with the 8 3/4 shock mounts. You should
have no problems with the K member. Just take everything from the 73 and up car. Including the upper control arms. You should have the big bolt pattern
all the way around then. So wheel options will be easer.
Good luck with it all.
 
Some of the interior stuff is different. The door panels for sure (won't fit early doors), and I think the headliner. So if you want to use the buckets, you may have to get creative to make everything match. If it's a 74 up, it should have retractable 3 point belts which most people prefer.

the 73-76 bucket will fit in a 70 duster just fine along with 8 3/4 rearend,v8 kmember,disc brakes& v8.
 
Awesome thank you for the info. It is much appreciated. In sure I'll use the rear end being that I have a good line up on a 9 inch.. But that is good that I can use the other parts.
