74 is when the shock absorbing bumpers were introduced. The brackets on 74 and newer are actually cylindrical shock absorbers. The 74 and newer fenders have a triangular shaped hole for the brackets and rubber seals.
I imagine you could do some cutting and welding and get an older version to work, esp. if you have a used set for a pattern.
Good luck
