So, here's what we've got so far:

Pat DEEP box dated '74
Brian Jan. build = DEEP Box dated 11/21/74
Al April build = SHALLOW
Dolores June build = SHALLOW Box dated May '75
Pat SHALLOW box dated November '75 for '76 year
eBay SHALLOW Box dated 4/28/76

The AM states the '75 tray as #333578. Higher in this thread Pat Moresi makes reference to another thread on the subject in which Joe Lucia wrote:

"1973-75 used GM #333578. I don't know very much about this tray. It was black "flocked" and I think that it's dimensions were similar to the 76-78 piece described below;

1976-78 used GM #362962. The dimensions were 12-3/4" X 10-3/8" at the maximum dimensions at the top. It is 5-1/8" DEEP. It has 2 7/8" holes in either side for "fingerhold".

If #333578 was used 73-75, then '75 trays should be DEEP as the TIM&JG states. And we have evidence that #362962 is SHALLOW. So we could conclude that the change from DEEP to SHALLOW happened with the change in model year from 75 to 76, with the exception of some SHALLOW trays getting used at the end of the '75 year - sometime in the April/May/June period.

The above evidence of SHALLOW trays being introduced at the end of the '75 production year should be incorporated in any revision of the '75-'77 TIM&JG.
