The side impact bars came in mid '73. The arm rest and it's mount changed in 
mid '72.

I never noticed a change in the trigger depth, but if they did that, I'd bet on 
it being a start of '72 thing, because that's when the double trigger grips 
started. I'll have to look for that sometime, as I have both eras here on 
different cars.
