The wiper motor is not original. What is it from? How did you make it work? Interesting!! Interesante amigo!

Really nice cars, in Mexico the Demon has came only in the 72, Valiant Duster 71(plymouth duster) came with the sharktooth grill.

I'm managing an Instagram account dedicated to the mopars I find in the streets of Mexico, Mopars_from_Mexico if you want to visit it. Some pictures:

I'm sorry, I have not had luck these days, the weekend I could possibly attend the same show where I saw the coronet, this time I hope to take the duster.

On another topic, I think my differential is buzzing ( . _.)

...no I meant the bumper mounts are the oil can type. American dusters didn't have them till the next year 1975

Not so fast there......
I have had several 1974 models. Some had the shock type, others had the old style Y brackets. My blue 1974 FrankenDuster had the shock type.

This reddish orange '74 was a later build but had the Y brackets. I would have expected a later build to have had the shock type bumpers.

The strut bumpers are late 1973 to 1976. Your rear axle is a 8 1/4". I'd love to find a link to order a set of those taillight lens for my 1976 Duster.

Anyone able to find a website to order them?

You are half right.
The OP mentioned a Dana 30. This is likely to be true. That axle is not an 8 1/4 but it looks similar. The diff cover bolt pattern is different.
Also, there are often "Local content laws" that apply to many cars that are either imported or built at plants outside of the USA. Australian cars used different components as well.
 
Mexican cars also have different hubs at least on the front.
Look close at a car with styled wheels and it's easy to see.
Different rally wheels in SA.
Different center mount manual trans shifters (Eaton trans IIRC) as well.

I love seeing these differences.
