According to Strat Collector News

1971

http://www.stratcollector.com/scn/base/71.html

thru

1979

http://www.stratcollector.com/scn/base/79.html

The 4-bolt comes back in 1980.

http://www.stratcollector.com/scn/base/80.html

and the 3-bolt neck fully disappears in 1982.

Hope this helps,

PS Edited to add 1982 complete end of 3-bolt neck.

It sounds like a 70's era Strat.
I own a '74
