I ran an early wide band on my later tailgate until I got the right year tailgate.
I stand corrected, after further researching, this is what I found. Sorry I just assumed that when they started using another tailgate trim, the previous one was dropped. So that wasn't the case. Well, you learn something new everyday

Yes the 73 had the woodgrain tailgate trim, that was the upper level model.

74 the aluminum tailgate panel was added to the center of the tailgate.

75 Upper trim levels receive brushed aluminum panels on tailgate.
