Late 70's I think. 77-79.

Check out this one:

IIRC, the “square body” gen was produced from 73-87 and was updated to square headlights in 77?

E39, K5. Whatever it takes. > Rusty Vandura - www.tinyurl.com/keepoppo 03/28/2018 at 18:09

Based on the grill, I’d say 1973, but they are all basically the same bodies from ‘73 to ‘80. My 1977 Blazer has a slightly different grill. (image upload is failing...neat).

Btw the turn signal color is a clue here

I was guessing ‘77. The “brow” on the hood is distinctive for its height and was similar with the ‘77 Caprice/Impala.

The brow of the hood is tall in its first iteration and gets shorter as the years go on.

It’s hard to tell in that pic, but it looks like it has no drip rails, which makes it a ‘73. That grill was 73-79, drip rails were added in ‘74, and I think in ‘79 they added a proper fuel filler door.

73-74 by the grille and lights. Have a cheat sheet...

I was working on that image in Photoshop this afternoon to make it 16:9 so it would work better on Oppo.

Not entirely accurate. 1979 also had its own unique grille. 77 and 78 still had the separate turn signal below the headlight that was surrounded by body color, as opposed to part of one big master grille that included the turn signals and vents below the grille. And also note different grille patterns/colors were available for different trims for some years too.
