Me again :-D

Is there any where that you can see wills for someone who died in 1974?

Assuming their Estate went to Probate, you can view the Calendar entry for free on
https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills

Make sure you click the correct year span! If it did go to Probate, the listing may have been the next year or later. Small Estates or those left entirely to the surviving spouse, may not have required Probate.

To see the Will itself, you need to purchase it via the site for £10.

Yes it's on that site
My hubby passed in 2015 and his will is on the site with the facility to pay to view the will info which takes about 10 days to be available
