for the 67-72 crowd
 

I thought you guys might like to see this. I got these photos from GM, and as you can see, there is a 72(?) in a few of the pics. The truck next to it appears to be a 1:1 scale clay model of the bodystyle I like. :) I would like to know what year the other truck is, it would give me a better idea of what year the photo was taken. SO if you know...

Sweet pictures! Thanks.

looks like a 72 and a 73 to me, that COULD be a 71, but the mirror appears to be mounted on the windsheild.... in 71 it mounted to the top of the cab (see left side of below pic to see mirror mounting on cab, 3 holes in a triangle pattern)

Thanks. I know the "other" one was a 73 (cause I own one :) ), but I had no clue what year the other one was, other than it was a 71 or 72. Thanks for the help. :)

i assume that the pic you posted isnt a 71 cab. the 71s have a buldge that the mirrors screw to.

Those are full size clay models? was that pretty common practice?

They still do it today.

good eye 68, that is a 1970 cab :D it was the best example i had on the comp lol :cool:

I am thinking that it is a 1972 since there is no black band around the outer grill. The only two things that I am aware to differentiate the 71 and 72 are the mirror mounting as stated previously and the band around the grill. (Unfortunately, no one makes are true 71 aftermarket grill and most like myself like the grill without the band better!)

:metal: i have to thank Andy for that tid bit of info

is the black line i put an arrow at in this pic the one your talking about? i used steel wool to take that band off my 71 grill... i didnt know if they had the black in 72 or not

second pic shows a front shot of my 71

1971 Chevy Grille
 

Here is a picture of my truck on the day that I bought it and another one of how it looks now. If you notice in the first pic, there is a painted black band on the outer edge of the grille on the "front" side of the grille but not on the side/edge that touches the hood and fenders. In the second pic, it is an aftermarket grille that is truly for a 1972 since it does not have the black band. But trust me, I am okay with that. I like that look better!!
