What variations of fuel fill openings/doors were there over the years?

Any pics of the different fuel fill openings/doors?

I only know of three. 9/73-12/78 is one with the door hinge on the bottom. 1/79 the hinge moved to the right side. Not sure of the date but pretty sure the hinge moved to the left side with in a year or two after the 1/79 started.

Thx guys. I have a 74' with the door hinged on the bottom to be cut out of a rusted out side panel.

But like the 79' up hinged on the front/right. Now that I know what year range it is.

Tom that was helpful seeing a pic of it up close, thx.
