Mine's a '72....I like the eggcrate grill best, the disc brakes of the '71/'72's, the door panels and the 'last year' of the series bit.
BUT.....the 71's are so darn close....I'd take either.
That said, I wish it ('72) came stock with a (slightly) higher compression 350 like the 69-70's...but then again I've never heard much about any visible power difference. Not that my truck suffers from keeping up but mostly just for the reference sake.
all good
