I’m trying to add another gas’s tank on the passenger side the truck is supposed to be a 1973 but I think the bed is newer if anyone can let me know so I buy the right filled neck.

Gas doors are 78~79+.

I’m not sure what year the tailgate logo changed from centered to the right side but I believe it was around 81.

I don’t know of any other ways to identify the year of a bed.

That's definitely a '79-up bed because '79 was the first year for gas doors instead of exposed fuel caps. I believe with that filler neck shroud, that would be a '79-84? '85-up they changed to a plastic surround that encapsulates the whole filler neck rather than just holding the top of it.
