Some 1972s still had the stamped gates.
Other people have told me they have seen late 1971s with unstamped gates.
I have never seen a 1970-71 truck with original paint and a matching unstamped gate though. Every 1970-71 truck I have seen with the original paint and a matching color gate had a stamped gate.
I have seen a couple 1972 trucks with matching paint and a stamped gate, so I think some were made that way.
But I am not sure of the exact date of the changeover.
