Can anyone explain the difference between the different years ? I found a pair in my shop but can’t remember what they are off. Thanks trying to clean out the shop again.

Those look like 69-72. Only difference is 67 and some 68 doesn't have the indents to adjust the lights.

Yeah, sure. Who cares? He doesn't need new ones -- already got 'em so what they're called doesn't matter. I was just supplying the catalog name.
My Dad had a '73 Lincoln with vacuum actuated headlight covers -- actual doors that flipped up and down. He didn't trust the mechanism, so he fixed them Up with baling wire.

Thanks guys ! Been so long I forgot where I got them from ? I don’t have a GMC any longer so on the wall they will go.

Apparently you care since you corrected the PO. Not everybody on this board is an expert. But I digress.
