you can also find the vin # stamped inside the driver side rear fender well. it is on the big brace that reinforces the unibody. it is just to the right of the arch that is in it and on the lower part of the brace. if youre fender well is clean you can see it just by taking off the tire. check there if you cant find it i will tack a pick of mine to show where i am talking about.

Thanks guys for the photos, pretty confident its a '74 with a taillight panel from a '76-'77. I did bid and win both taillights on ebay over the weekend, $27 for one and $29 for the other. I guess the price wasn't to bad, as I do need new tail lights and being addiicted to ebay auctions hate to loose. :bang:
While on the subject kinda anyone have any details regarding interchange and availibility of the front valence or chin panel, of course mine was completely missing.

Front lower valance underneath the bumper is the same from 74-77.

Stuff above the bumper are unique to each front end. Fenders are the same 74-77.

I believe it was Chris at Vegamods who made the valances. I bought the pair from him in white before for like under $300 I believe? Excellent quality. At the time it sounded like he was winding these down, and actually custom made mine. Might want to track his email address down, and see if he has stock, or can make more.
