Hey guys I was wondering if a 73 duster door will fit a 70 duster and is the styling line the same or is it drastically different? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys.
73 Duster Door on 70 Duster?

Yup, it's an exact match, and the '73-up doors contain a side-impact guard beam that makes you less likely to get hurt or dead in a T-bone crash.

Is this true for 1974 darts as well dan? If so I wonder if I can swap a full set onto my 68. I like safe stuff.
It might be an exact match for the outside, but the inside door release mechanism is in a different place on a 73 vs 70. Also, the 73 interior door tops are plastic & the 70's are metal....

X2..... might be a exact match on the outside skin, but not the same inside.

But if you swap the complete door (including interior trim/handles, etc) it works fine because the hardware (hinges, latch, etc.) is all the same.

Better Swap both or it will look awkward...I've seen it done with one and it's not attractive.

In case anyone plans on swapping the windows around, the mounting holes are likely different & won't interchange between some years. '73 is suppose to be unique & do research on the other years..
