Guys, I know I will catch grief from some, but.....here it goes.  Has anyone attempted to put a 71/72 stripe kit on a 74 Dodge Charger?  Thank you in advance.

Do you mean like this?
You are aware the doors are completely different, the lines don't match?

The 73-74 door is lower in height at the rear but otherwise is very similar to the 71-72 door. The dimension from the front of the door to the rear of the quarter panel is the same, and the vinyl is fairly flexible, so personally I think it can be done. Not sure it will be a perfect fit but would be close at least. It's worth a try.
Do it!

The stripe on 71 ( 72 ) flows between upper lines on doors. Above it initially, then below it. It changes on the area where the body lines cross over.

On 73/74 the body line is continuous, so the flow flip between body lines will happen without any smooth, just crossing the body line.

73/74 body lines are more sharpened

The curvature on quarter is diff and the vinyl mostly sure will absorv that BUT the smooth flow on door won't happen anymore.

I have agree with Nacho ... it will be on a body line. Here is 72 door (Black Car). Notice the body lines don't match as they do on my 73 (Red Car).

this is what I mean... in yellow the body lines. In red the R/T stripe pathway between both

Was watching an episode of Mopar or No Car on Prime video and saw a shot of a 74 with 71 stripes, will see if I can do a screen grab.

I have seen a couple over the years done.

Huh, heard they were different never knew why. In fact this post saved me. I SAW 2 rust free 74 doors for $100 but recalled they wouldn't fit

73/74 doors are lower on rear... quarter glass opening is lower. Of course door jams too... around an inch and a half. The difference begins around half of the door

Hmmm never said you said it hadn't been done :) I was responding to the OP who asked if anyone had attempted it.
