73-74 didn't have the removable trunions. It started as an OPTION in 1975, I thought it was pretty much standard by 1976, it may have been optional though.

My grandfathers '74 he bought new didn't have it, my fathers 75 that he bought new had it, best friends '75 has it , a '76 I scrapped which I still have the gate for had it, another friends '78 has it.
