    I had always known there was a difference in the supports that tie into the valances (when used) from the hood latch but until recently I hadn't seen a photo of the differences. I found an early style ('70-'72) and had a mid-term ('73) and a later one ('74-'77). So I snapped a quick photo for others to see the differences if they happen across the supports and want to know the application. (anyone need a one-year '73 support and has a good early style I might be interested in a trade?)

    Main difference is in the bottom half of the support and the tie ins to the different valences - or no valence for the later years
    74-77 - Left; '73 middle; 70-72 right
