Default Birdcage

Can anyone tell me what the difference is in the birdcage between 1968 & 1975 ,I need parts for a 68 and I may be able to get a 74 with the parts I need.
Thanks

I would think any difference would be minor. Everything is basically the same except the receivers for the hardtop pins, and some screw holes.

Are you wanting only parts for your 68 birdcage or are you thinking about swapping your birdcage for the 74 cage? Repairing a birdcage is one thing; swapping birdcages is a whole different matter.

I believe the lower corners on the 73 and later are a little different the 72 and earlier.
