1974 Trans Am questions
 
Just curious on the little differences that make the 74 unique.
Also, to convert an auto to a correct 74 4 speed, are almost all/ all of the parts available as reproductions?
Thank you!

RTS emblem on glove box door. Seat belt interlock reset button on drivers side inner wheel well. Front blinkers in the lower valance.

Last year for the 'small' rear window, but 1st year for the front/rear bumper change. (non-urethane and non-chrome)
1st year for the long tail lights.
Last year for the SD 455. (:mad:)

Not sure but I think the shifter button was the pontiac crescent. Last year for true dual exhaust.

Front grills are unique to 74. 75 changed to 100MPH speedometer. Last year for flat floorpan (no hump for cat converter).

Not to sure about that one. My 77 has the longer door handles.

74 was the last year for that style interior door handle and escutcheon, 75 went to a different style handle and escutcheon. The interior side of the door structure changed in 75

Early build 74 birds had nose emblem birds with metal between the wings and tail feathers later ones did not.
