70 71's no rib, very late build 71's and 72 and later rib

you will also notice 72's had different marker lites and slots in the bumper for the nailhead jack.

The reasoning behind why they added the rib was to add strength to the center of the lid. When closing the trunk it is very easy to dent it in from push down on it. They started to catch on after the 70 duster and early 71 dusters and demons after buyers complained about the ease of denting the lid when closing it.

You dog, I'd love to spend about week in your yard just mentally soakin' in all the cool parts... I can't remember my own cell phone number but I could hang out there a week and tell you every part and car in the whole yard.... :-D

This may be a dumb question, but are Demon and Duster trunk lids interchangeable?

Yes sir. Demon, Duster, and Dart Sport are all interchangeable.
