I found door hinges for a 73 dodge charger at year one.
When I tried to order them, asked if it was an early or late model.
Does anyone know what they consider a late 73 and will the vin# give me that info?

I just bought some from year one.  My car still had the build date on the door jamb.  It is a sticker from the factory.  The vin# wont tell you the build month.  Somebody else may have another option for you. 
Thats how I roll.

Unfortionatlly ( spelling )
I dont have the door tag or the fender tag.
Nacho said it might have something to do with the S spring. :shruggy:

Thanks Nacho
Mine look different, They have a spring instead of the S pin like in your pic's.
I assume the pic is of a late model.
I will order the early model and hope for the best.

The S - Spring type is the Late Model . They can be found on the Cordoba, Magnum, etc. and will interchange with the earlier type.
