Tail light differences
I tried a search for tail light differences but couldn't find an answer. I have a 1974 and need to replace the tail lights. I see several options but want to stay with the original look. What makes the 1974 lights special? Most parts places list 1974 as a single year light only. Thanks for the help.

I'm almost positive that no other year will fit. Given a big enuf hammer, you can make most anything fit, but I don't believe it would look too good. When I bought my '74, the seller gave me a box of parts including 2-3 taillights. He said he'd bought them off ebay without realizing '74 was a one time taillight deal. He was right. They didn't fit.
A backup light and a rear parking light were broke and it wound up costing me approx $200 to replace all four taillights so they matched.
