Can someone identify the year of these mounts? I thought they were 72's. Some say they are 73s and up.

Definitely 73 and up.

The frame that I bought as (67-72 Short bed) would have been a 73 or later. These mounts came from that frame, so what is the difference between those frames and will the cab and other body parts fit, if that was a 73 or later?

some people install the '73 up mounts on the 67-72 frames.... can you post some pictures of the frame, and we can help you identify. Added a couple of pics of 72 only BB mounts.

Picture of the frame.

Thank you for the pictures, now I understand. I have seen several listings of 73s being represented as 72s.

Look closely at the pictures that my67truck posted. The 72 only big block mounts have one raised ridge on them, the 73-87 mounts have two raised ridges. That's how you can tell the difference.

Your frame looks like a 68-72 unit. I am basing it on two things. 1) I believe I can see the crossmember for the trailing arms in the edge of the picture. 72 was the very last year for coil rear suspension 2) a 67 frame wouldn't be dimpled for the power steering box like yours is.

Here's a better picture of the rear of the frame.
