81e or L81?
Dammit. I thought I was out of the early/late loop and didn't have to worry about it.
I'm ordering a new set of shifter side boards from Wilcox and their scale runs to 78-81e and L81-84 and I don't know which I have. I didn't even know there was a distinction between 81 models. And honestly, I can't see where it'd make that much difference. They all use the same shifter and e-brake consoles. Weird.
Where's the cut off point in the production dates? Or better yet, where's the cut off point in the VIN?
Anyone?

Just a bit thicker and more sturdy.
What number are you ? I'm pretty late in the year 8355.
Any pictures of your sideboards?

It's long gone.
