65 but with some later parts. Believe the doors are later. Same with the hood with washer nozzles. Amber parking lights. But the one I would be sure and change is the fresh air inlet on the passenger's side of the cowl. 65 had louvers at a forty-five degree angle.

doors are a bit newer true, no pop outs, i think nozzles may have been an add on so might, might not be newer, idk. if i could find horizonal vent for a good price I would grab it but until then, only one ive seen is 350 bucks. ive had to piece this truck together from the ground up. here is how i found her

I wonder if they changed the design because it worked better or it allowed them to make one for both RHD and LHD. Only difference is which side the baffle was spot welded on the inside. I bought one years ago for my 68. It was painted close to the color my is. Like everything else parts that were easy to find have become rare. I think I found another one as a spare.

i was wrong, i was thinking rhd might still have the heater on the same side. this is not the case. i understand what you meant now about baffle.

FWIW I can say, with some certainty, that I've never seen an AU truck with the removable louvre. And I've looked because they look so cool.

Interesting, I know of a 70 trayback local that came from Australia. It does't have a factory heater. The stamped louver came with the 72. Is it possible the factory heater wasn't available as a option before 72 in Australia? Thought there were regions in Australia that get snow?
