What changed between the 73-74 Duster?

[RustyDusty]

I'm looking at buying a parts car. What are the differences in a 73 and 74 Duster shell wise?

One thing for sure is the rear bumper and the way it mounts to the frame.
The rear on a '74 has impact shock absorbers that mount to the frame and then the bumper and has rubber filler pieces that go between the body and the bumper.
I'm not sure if they are interchangable.
The trunk lock hole and lock might be a different style, if i recall correctly.
The rest of the shell is the same as far as i know.
Hope this helps.
Tom.
