The only real difference between a '72 and a '73 is the bumpers and front indicators.1972 model year production was the most prolific year of production, nearly 300,000 Type2's where produced, I'd like to think that VW see far enough ahead not run out of panels. Plus theres the spare parts stock they'd what to have.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
