Eventually I'll get to the point where I need to put my '73 Duster back together, I took a lot of pictures but I'd like to have a manual of some kind if that exists. Classic Industries has a 1973 Body and Chassis Shop Manual but I'd like to know if that's what I'm looking for before I order it, any ideas? Thanks

You can get service / body/ chassis manual for 73 for free from MyMopar. A few of us here are why it is there.
The assembly manual? Probably need to search Dodge and Plymouth both. 72 and earlier is likely to have substantial differences in assembly. 74-5-6 if available would likely be closest.
For the record, here is what I think of the 67-69 version. Try not to think I am TOO negative, but the fact is, the Faxon watermarks are actually quite overbearing and annoying.

Also bear in mind that these manuals were once "unubtainium" were intended for factory internal use, and for a long time, I think only Gavin Grover or somebody had them. So at least they are somewhat available.

My review of Faxon book, 1967-1969 Dodge & Plymouth Body & Electrical Assembly Manual
Better than nothing. The price isn't bad. I have never seen the mysterious non-existent factory assembly manual, so I have nothing to compare the print quality to. I will need a magnifier. So far so good, and happy to get "that far." THE DOWNSIDE Faxon has seen fit, in order...

I couldn't agree more. In some cases they obliterate details.
I have the 67 book. Still had a lot of good info.
