The 1967-1972 359s had the smaller Unilite cabs until late 1972 (1973 model year) that the 1100-series cab was introduced along with the newer hood. However, it's got the quad rectangular headlights which was an option starting in 1980.. http://timstrucks.com/pbs1.htm http://www.timstrucks.com/pbs2.htm

I already bookmarked Tim's Trucks site (or another / the former version?) several months ago... but I forgot it About the 1980+ square headlights: couldn't it be a later aftermarket change, i.e. 1980+ headlamps fitted to a 1973-79 model? -- Last edit: 2015-10-08 02:04:59
