Since m.y. 1972 the new higher placed and straighter bumpers provoke the impression that the taillights are bigger. I'd agree on 1970/71, made for USA (side markers). Taillights, Bumper, Reflectors all indicate 70-71. But 'DynaMike's statement about '72 taillights APPEARING larger just because the bumper changed, is incorrect! Taillights were increased in size in 1970 (to ~9"), and AGAIN in 1972 (to ~13")! I've had '71 & '72 models both and can tell you this for a fact. Or, just check any parts catalog. -- Last edit: 2012-04-23 08:11:10
