So far nobody has noticed the differences between the earlier cabs....it is pretty obvious, look inside the cab

Re: 73-74 show off
I was going to say the front hood release, until you said cab
Is it the vin plate on the door instead of the dash? Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 73-74 show off
Here's my 74. Just had my new 4 row radiator put in last week, along with the radiator bracket that I cleaned up and painted that I got at the pick a part. Also that VERY clean and chip and mark free shroud was also found at the pick a part. Just needed a good cleaning and degreasing. The grille also scored at the pick a part thats in perfect shape, no marks at all, just needed cleaning as well and I painted it silver and the 350 emblem cleaned and painted. The bowtie I just scored last week, a NOS one i will bolt on both of them very soon.

Re: 73-74 show off
Those are in there. They are usually covered with caps. The wiper switch location is different.

Re: 73-74 show off
Nope, my 73 has the provision to install shoulder belts...it is just plugged and the pillar trim does not have a hole from the factory.
Keep trying...

Re: 73-74 show off
OK, here it goes...
73/74 trucks have smooth sheetmetal directly below the rear window...later models have recessed "ribs"...that look like crap IMO.

Re: 73-74 show off
Just to be clear Jeff is talking about the three horizontal ribs on the inside of the cab just under the rear glass. Not the vertical ribs on the outside of the cab that also show up on the lower inside .
