What, besides the obvious side marker lamps are different on fenders for a 70-71 Duster vs 72 and up? I’m aware of the “beak” front on the later models as well, just haven’t found any good references between the early ones.
 
For the 73+ fenders there are minor differences with the headlight bucket brackets, grille mounting brackets and hood support panel mounting. For most of those it's just a matter of the mounting holes being in a different place, so, you'd need to drill some holes. The side markers would be the most labor intensive thing to deal with, the other stuff is pretty minor if you have all the brackets for the appropriate year model.
 
Between the '70-1 and a '72, it's just the side marker lamps. There can be all sorts of emblem and molding differences through the years and models though. Drill or fill as necessary.
