The 72 year was the older completely different body style. 73 was the first year for the body like yours.

Yep, his is a '73. And the gas tank I think will be on the passenger side with the round fuel hole..........is that correct? I may swap whole beds anyway. I can get the whole complete running truck for $500. Thanks

Your best bet would be to swap beds. Trying to change bed sides is a LOT of extra work....
