Brad,
In addition to the items Chad mentioned, other minor differences include:
The area where the steering column passes through the firewall is flat on the
'71 and conical on the '75.
The notch on the wheelarch to clear the air cleaner doesn't extend all the way
to the front of the arch on the '71, but does on the '75.
The holes in the front fenders to mount the bumper are higher in the '75 than in
the '71. (Rear fenders are the same.)
The doors have a different internal pressing to accommodate the pull pockets
found in the '75 doors as well as crash bars inside the '75 doors, where the '71
door internals are plain.
Cheers!
