Early Bay features explanation

[shaka1976]

I have the opportunity to buy some EB buses, crew cabs and single cabs to potentially import but I´m trying to remember what different features they have. As some have been altered over time I´m trying to work out what is right/wrong with each. From what I remember the different between lates are as follows.

Wide 5 wheels 68-71
Crescent air vents = small rear lights & more rounded rear corners
Thick front wings
Low front indicators
Push button door handles
Rounded bumpers

What other differences should I be looking for?

Wide 5 wheels 68-71 - 68-70, early bays in 71 are a "pre-crossover crossover" (they look like an early bay but have narrow 5 with front disc brakes

Crescent air vents = small rear lights & more rounded rear corners - yes this is the early bay dead giveaway.

Thick front wings - dont know where you are coming from with this one?

Low front indicators - yes, early bay trademark.

Push button door handles - 68 only. 69-71 have chrome handle with trigger pulls like later bays (just not painted black)

Rounded bumpers - yes, the front also wraps around to form the doop steps, this part is not present on a late.

dash clocks will have a grey face with a silver centre circle (lates are all satin black)

hope this helps
