71 -74 B body instrument bezel question... - 01/16/17 05:58 AM

Can anyone confirm what year had the indicator to the side of the headlight switch and wiper switch as seen on the bezel pictured below. I recall it being a 1974 thing but couldn't remember for sure. work

you'd have to look for other similar date late-'73s from the same plant

so, what plant & how late?

Here's a picture of the part number on mine, the same part number as the one listed on page two of the for sale section here which does not have the indicators. Maybe there's another number on mine I missed? I'll have to check. FWIW, I still think your right about being a later application. Just not sure about the possibility of a late 73 application yet. work
