Default Cast iron to Aluminum

I know this thread is a little old, but Just reading through it I can give a little input.

I have a both 1974 1650 and a 1978 1450.
interestingly enough I have noticed :
1650 ('74) Front grille frame is Cast iron lower, ( hood nose is cast aluminum
Complete rear end and (axle tubes are cast iron)
1450 ('78) lower grille frame cast aluminum ( hood nose same as 1650)
Rear end is cast iron with Aluminum axle tubes. also the is more clearance between the fender stamping and the frame.
