I found a '71 340 Duster today that sparked my interest. I don't know much about them, so when I was looking at the pics, it looked like it had the console and gauges from an earlier A body (like a 67 or 68).

Can someone post pics of a "correct" 71 Duster interior with the console auto and gauges?

Thanks!

Very similar with subtle changes. Some of the parts interchange. Most parts will physically interchange but many will not have the exact same part features.

For instance...In '68 there is a flasher switch on the upper left fascia. In 71 that is on the steering column. 68 Console lids have a channel down the middle with a black stripe. In 71 that is all smooth with woodgrain overlay and button.

Here is a pic from the one I found. Not the best pic, but you can see what I mean.

That looks like a correct 71 Duster 340 interior. The gauges were an updated version of the 67-69 Bcuda dash, consoles were pretty much the same in 71 as well.

Console is the same from 70-76 as it has a button in the door and springs up. 71-72 interiors are almost identical as well as dash assemblies. wave
