OOOPS! Near Marshfield.1871 Duster? Horse and buggy carriage needs doors?
Jk...

I am outside Fond du Lac. Have a great group of Mopar guys down here. I posted a link to FB ad in your Wanted post. worth a call?
Not sure what’s wrong with AMD, the skins are identical.
The doors will fit, you can bolt dart doors onto a duster and vice versa. But the glass tracks and wing vent windows have different internal mounting. There’s some differences in the inner structure of the door to accommodate the glass hardware differences, some spot welded brackets. The regulators mount in different spots and that means drilling new mounting holes for all the window hardware.
So, you could convert ‘71 Dart doors to work on a Duster. But IMO it wouldn’t be worth it.
Here’s a thread with pictures of all the differences.
Demon door?? Which others fit?

Maybe like you mentioned in your link....the mirror hole location?
I suppose, the mirror locations are different because of the wing vent window. But I doubt they’re even stamping those on the passenger side, since plenty of these cars didn’t have passenger mirrors. If they are stamping them on the driver’s side it’s kind of a waste for them, that would be the only difference in the skins.
