IF they had them it would have been with the redesign in 1973. I know that the door glass in Dart Sports are different for 73, 74, and 75. I have never checked a 76 to see if it is the same as a 75. I don't recall ever seeing a crash bar though...

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

So far it sounds like 1974 was the first year for the crash bars! I was curious in case I find a good deal on some doors. My current car started as a '74 and the bars were cut out. If my other car project takes much longer, I may fix up my current car a bit with early doors having better sheetmetal and glass. A friend told me that 1973 Dart Sport/Duster door windows were different from later years. Not sure about earlier years. Thanks!

My '73 Dart Sport doesn't have them.

Door "beams"....that's it! Just not thinking clearly. Aluminum doors! Cool! I haven't heard about that "trick" from back then. That would go well with Feather Duster/Dart Lite hoods and trunk lids! I bet they don't have working OEM window and lock mechanisms. But I gotta stay with OEM stuff.
