Looks like you have some J yokes and some other J mods.   Your would seem to be a later 75.   Mine was built around december 74
 


He may be an early 76 model. Single rear windows I don’t think were on any 75s. He also doesn’t have the machine gun landing light switch on the throttle and as you pointed out the J yokes.

yep per @kpaul, its a December 75 model that the FAA calls a '75 but by serial number is actually a '76. I am so freaking excited to get her home I cant hardly contain myself! I hope to be able to get transition training with @mike_elliot when I finally get her here.  I am ready to close any time. Hopefully within the next 2 weeks, then its weather permitting to get her home. Now isnt the greatest time for the midwest, but Florida flying is awesome this time of year.

Congrats!! I'm In the same timeframe. Dec 75 she got rolled off the line. I've been an F owner for two solid weeks now myself and I wouldn't change a thing :)  Looks as though we have three very close tail numbers in just this thread. 

Enjoy the flight home! Sounds like you found a good one with a cooperative owner and that is awesome to have on your side. I can't say enough good things about the previous owner and his willingness and flexibility to make things happen. Sharing of documents, pictures, meetups, etc. made me really feel at ease throughout the process.
