I own a '71 and I was trying to use parts from a '73.

Is there a difference between '71 and '73 dashes? Anything different with the dash harness from a '73 that won't cooperate with the '71?

The dash and frame will fit easily enough, but the wiring harness will definitely require comparing.

Aside from plastic connection differences, you'll also run into changes in the harness. If you are planning on using the 73 dash harness, then do yourself a favor and transplant ALL the harnesses and any electrical item whose connector is different between the two cars. Items such as the W.Wiper had the intermittent wipe feature added which although the connection may look the same, there are additional wires that finish new circuits.

It is possible to make the transition, but having done it, and STILL working problems out....make sure you're well qualified in tracing down circuits.

As a note the 73 Heater Control Panel is more often sought out due to it's back-lit feature as opposed to the 71's non illuminated style.

I just had a few shots of classic rum.

and I must say... Enrique, you thine genius.

I love dark rum!

At a minimum, the fusebox, turn signal switch and headlight switch have different harnesses. Probably nothing else though.
