    All the 5 bolt suspension from the 74 ought to go in there with no worries. Is it disc brakes on the front? ... that would be an excellent improvement if your 73 is an all drum car. If it is power brakes, then that hardware and shock tower brace is different, but can swap over.

    The doors changed in 73 ... extra bracing and different interior trim and handle location, so using the earlier doors is complicated by that.

    Back seats and interior surrounds changed in 72.

    Rear bumper on the 71 and 73 ought to be the same.

    Other than that ... most everything else ought to interchange.
