Default Just ordered my AIM..

But I can't wait to know.

Is the entire rear deck one piece from the targa to the bonding strip in front of the rear spoiler, and quarter to quarter on 68-73s?

Since you mention "targa," I'll asume you are referencing a coupe and while I'm by no means an expert and I haven't had my '71s body seperated into individual pieces, the rear deck does appear to be one piece. My AIM doesn't really show it very well either. Best I could find for the "upper rear deck" is UPC1, sheets B9-B11 and B14. I THINK the body may have been delivered to the assembly line as a complete unit so the AIM doesn't go into great detail about how the individual panels are put together...
