I think we need more pics and info on that truck?! That is definitely the first time I've seen that done.

Now that is the type of information I was interested in, thanks for sharing! I wish there was some way to see some of the initial design ideas while they were developing this generation of trucks.

I noticed those things too after I posted it. I edited the original version to illustrate this. I also noticed the 67/68 was missing the turn signals, so I added those. And yes 67ChevyRedneck, we are being that picky over a drawing.
