I was hoping to collect knowledge about parts compatibility into one thread.

Pig production for the US ran from 1967 to 1979 - correct?

It would be neat to know what years can cross parts.

Example, we know the tail lights from '78-9 are unique and will not work on earlier vehicles.

How about radiators? What year radiators can run in what other year bodies?

Dashboards - when did these change? The 2F and 4 spd went into Pigs in '74/'75, similar to the 40's - correct?

When did they run those side marker/turn signal lights?

When did they switch the front doors?

When did the tailgates change? Are they all compatible?
 
i think front doors changed in mid 77, but not sure. the dashes changed a bit around 72...i think it may coincide with the steering column change. key went from dash to column, hvac control panel changed and the switch for the tailgate was in a metal logo strip whereas later models have it in the dash with a little script logo. can't remember the shape of the dash, but i think that may have changed also.

front seats changed mounting style on the later years, but i don't know when.

Pablo - the tailgates lost the indent/recess (where the TOYOTA is stamped) that coincides with the early tail-lights ....after 77. Just compared a 71 and a 78 at my homestead and this appears to be the most significant difference structurally. If you dig up Buckethead's thread, the PO of his pig transplanted a 78 into a 71 with no dilemma - however, because there is no recessed upper section on the 78-80 tailgate, it will not line up with the depth of the early rear lights(cosmetic only) Long story short - from what I have gathered - all may be interchanged and functional - just differing visually. I may stand to be corrected :grinpimp:

this is a very interesting thread, should it be a sticky?, Pablo, I am hurting for floorboards also, sent an email to IPOR but Lance must be busy as have not heard back from him, Ehsan in Pakistan was interested and did make up a batch of fender patches but I get the feeling that he is a bit burned out as has only sold one set although the price seemed reasonable.more or less 140$ delivered...maybe if enough of us get together Lance might make us some........K9crazy got him to make a batch of rockers that are awsome;

Can anyone weigh in on the floorboard issues so we can get some reproduced?

There are differences between the '74/75 and the '76 for sure. The rubber mat from the '76 doesn't fit nicely in the '74/75 floor. Basically just the jack and tool holder thingys that are different.
