That's correct. The 1974 only had one crossed flag emblem on the entire vehicle exterior, and that was on the nose.

Mine had the emblem when I got it and I always thought it looked great. The guy gave me an extra gas door in case I wanted to change (along with extra rocker panels in case I wanted to change out the side pipes. Haven't done that.) Depending on mood, I do change the gas door now an then. Have a wonnerful weekend, Bill

True. But I bought a 1975 door and liked it.

A member of this Forum made that lid for me. That was several years ago. I don't know if he still does that kind of work. For privacy reasons I will not disclose his handle but if he does he may contact people directly. He is still a member.

Depending on which one you measure and how out of round they are, the factory emblem is about 3.090 to 3.115 in diameter, the repro units are sometimes just a little larger where they didn't clean off the flashing at the outer edge
