I kinda thought that after all these years..decoding a fender tag would be easy..

And why do all the decode helpers stop at '74..the Duster was made until '76.

This is what I have found out so far..

It is a 1975 Duster /6.

Thanks for the help.

I had a hard time finding meanings for most of the codes that you left unknown. Regarding why the decoders stop at '74, I have no clue. I have been compiling a list of '75-'76 tag codes and meanings but it's no where near complete.
 
24 is for a 24 inch radiator
034? i bet this is a g34 left hand chrome mirror
051? i bet this is b51 power brakes
m30? some type of moulding...not sure on this one
n93 non catalyst (no converter)
g27? something with the glass..not sure here
 
Black protective side trim - what could this be ??

24 is for a 24 inch radiator................nope, we have the small rad..
034? i bet this is a g34 left hand chrome mirror..good one..we have..
051? i bet this is b51 power brakes..it does have..
m30? some type of moulding...not sure on this one...wood veneir ?
n93 non catalyst (no converter)..will have to check to see if it has one..
g27? something with the glass..not sure here..perhaps tinted..will look..

Thanks !

The side trim seen on my Duster....

that is a strange tag...alot of weird stuff. maybe if you can post a pic of it. some of those things don't make sense to me....
 
I'd remove the tag and look at it from the backside to get a better read on the digits.
 
Actually i did that earlier today before I posted..I am stumped..I will take a look at the trim..
