These look like '69 - '70 . '71's have a lever on top of the hinge to release and tilt forward .

Hmm don't think that is correct.

I thought the lever kicked in in 1972 when the recliner changed to black crinkle paint finish

[LiveFromNY]

I think Richy's correct. Pretty sure my '71 has the lever on top of the recliner.

Thanks for putting me straight John, apologies for doubting you Richy
something to learn everyday.

John I sent you a PM re the other matter.

Found some pics of a super original low mileage USA 71T I owned back in the early 2000's

Clearly shows the lever on the recliner Richy was aluding too which confirms the 69-70 seat decision.

You would think I may have remembered that

[Jim Breazeale]

Those are 69/70 seats. 71s have the trigger at the top of the hinge and can be the large one shown in the last picture
or the smaller one like the one on 72/73 seats depending when they were manufactured.
