My new Demon came without a drivers door. Does anyone know what other model doors would be correct for this car? 1971 Duster?

My Demon also came without a steering column (auto trans on the column, base black column & base model steering wheel). Does anyone know what other model would be correct for this car? I'm looking to buy both a correct door and a column so I can put this car back together. Thanks.
 
70-72 Duster or Demon for the doors.......Can't say for sure about the column because of wiring variances. Nothing pre-70 for sure due to the dash ignition switch location in older units.
 

Also be aware that a power steering column will be shorter than a manual steering column. There are workarounds, but know that there is a difference.
 
1970-1972 Duster or Demon will work for the door.

The steering column will have to be ‘71 or ‘72 I believe if you want it to be correct. ‘70 had a different steering lock mechanism that was 1 year only, before that the ignition switch was on the dash. I’m not certain but the wiring harness changes could make the ‘73 different too, at least if you wanted to “plug and play” a complete column. Visually I think ‘71-76 would look the same but you might have to change out the ignition switch as the pigtail may be a bit different. The only issue with that is if you want it to be 100% correct, well, not all the reproduction ignition switches are. Most of them cover a wider year range and require some minor modifications to work with the harness when you install them, they typically come with a few wires not attached to the connector so you can adapt. It’s a minor deal but I don’t know how “correct” you’re trying to be.
