Second are the 9/66-7/70 variety, marked by the large unframed choke butterfly inside a recessed head. Bare spiral sheath, solid core.

Question for you Mark - doesn't the smooth domed head choke cable go through 8/67-ish and the one above starts in 9/67 vs 9/66? I ask since my yellow truck is a '67 and was built sometime b/w March and April in 1967 (based on SOR's chart) and has the all metal dash.
Interesting. My 6/71 build date fj40 has a choke cable with the butterfly in the box that you indicate was 73-74. I would've thought that my choke cable was stock for my year.
Hand throttle, 67-72.

As I said when I started this thread, my information is inferential; I have never consulted a parts book or microfiche on this. My logic is that the dashpad came online in early ‘67, and it seems like it would have been an appropriate time to make the other style changes in the knobs.
In 1988 I bought a mid year ‘67(don’t remember the exact production) with the dashpad and later style knobs. I was sorely disappointed to learn when I started tearing into the front end that it was a ball joint, not a birfield type, as I was having quite a run on them with my new-to-me ARB air locker (second one off the boat from AU).
That is the extent of the information from which I made the distinction. Just something to start a discussion.
Thanks for the additional details. All metal dash (no pad) and smooth domed throttle / choke knobs go together and changed with the intro of the pad...makes sense to me!
@RAGINGMATT - curious if you've run across an engine "stop control button" before? My '83 illuminated choke knob acts the part fine but I've always wondered about replacing it with a factory stop knob.

Not that rare. These guys got lots 'em. For some reason they collect 'em. Tough to compete on EBay. They pick you up and you wake up with your memory wiped.@DSRTRDR , That's the Holy-Grale of " RARE " when it comes to Control Cables
& was particular to this Model year at the very least
