Very happy to hear this explained. I hear all the time how the factory "used leftovers" or mostly started in year x but my uncle had that 2 years before. Etc. Etc.

When it comes to these trucks, I've never seen the year to year change rules broken. Gas doors started on pickups in 79, first year of high back buckets was 77 and etc. People make a lot of claims but they don't pan out.
