73 Rallye questions

I have a couple of questions about 73 Rallyes (which my Dad and I are cloning).  I asked these questions over at the 3rd gen site as well. 

A 73 Rallye came with the Tuff wheel, correct? 

Which Rallye dash came in the Rallyes?  150 w/ tach? w/o tach?  120 speedo?  w/ clock? w/o clock or tach?  Or was it optional?  I've been looking for a 150/tach dash for a price I won't have to sell my kidneys for. 

Which exhaust tips did Rallyes come with?  Red slots?  Black slots? 

Did Rallyes have Magnum wheels available, or just the Rallye style wheels? 

Which Vinyl tops were available?  My coupe came with the style that starts at the rear side rolldown windows and goes forward, was this available on Rallyes? 

And Finally, were Rallyes available with bench seat/column shift? 

Thanks in advance gentlemen.

Miles speedo depends of year... Oficially 120 miles started on mids 72 with detuned engines, but you still can find some 73 with 150 miles speedo. probably trying to finish assembly line stock... probably some of them just replaced.

Another difference is officially since 73 the cluster bezel has label icons at sides of switch, not just the function, to universal undertanding, not just english, however some earliers 73 still have non iconed bezels

Clock, Tach or big double GAS/OIL meter instead... depending of options from factory when you bought. I think 440s and 340s  were default with tachs. Probably in fact also all manuals, including 400s. Just a guess.

Rally wheels are the factory ones... dunno if magnums were dealer options.

both... Canopy or full, even 73 where really called "Halo" vinyl top since is not a complete full top. The real FUL TOP was on 71/72s and 74 spring specials

I have yet to see a 73 with the headlight and wiper icons from the factory. None of the ones I have owned had them.  I think this was a 74 or at least a very late 73 thing.  I could be wrong, but thats just my observation.

That's whay I say OFICIALLY LOL... Probably they were 73 lates. I read somewhere was an international law requirement in mids 73, so probably stock on assembly line should it be finished.

Generally speaking for all Mopars of the era, having a tach depended on one thing: If the box was checked when the car was built. Tach's generally did not come automatically by default with certain engine or trans combos.
