identify my cab

[c1069]

I recently bought this cab and let me know the year. And this is all I have to know.

[c1069]

and this is my old cab trim tags 69

[msgross]

need more pics... all over the cab, there are a few indicators that help possibly pinpoint a year (firewall, rear window, e-brake, cab lights, under gas tank, gas tank itself etc..)

The 71 72's I've had, had the big one piece vin tag.

[71blksuper4x4]

Doesn't appear to be a 71-72' as they all have a cab vent below the vin I believe. Take a picture of the rear view mirror area. Also, take a pic of the parking brake. My gut is telling me it's a 70' cab. Trevor

my 1970 has a date stamped on the firewall under the heater core. small size, exterior.

'72 was the only cab to have the rear view mirror glued to the windshield. So if it has no holes over the center of the windshield... It's prolly a '72.

did it have doors?

[c1069]

Yes, I have. they was taken from a donor truck

[msgross]

if there is a date code on the firewall as stated it might be the only way to narrow it down to a specific year, not a 67-68 and it appears to have had a single large VIN plate... I guess 72

[Canadian694x4]

If ya ask me from my knowledge that's prolly a 71'...

[71blksuper4x4]

Well, I still call a 70'. The final give away is the rear view mirror mounting. You can automatically rule out 67-68 because of the ebrake handle. 71' is the only year to have a raised pad for the rear view mirror to mount too on the ceiling. 72 mounts on the windshield and will not have holes where earlier types would mount on the ceiling. I am only ruling out the 71-72 because of the air vent, like I said, below the vin plates. This was typically found on most if not all 71-72 cabs because of the different style gas tank in the cab. If you get a shot of the rear view mirror area, that will be the tall tell signal. Trevor

I think is 70 because after looking in the forum saw one like mine... Thanks guys

Good call. I didn't see pics of these areas to make a 100% call on it.

It's a 2010 piece of illegal contraband, it is against Federal Law to remove the VIN tag....and they don't take "reasons" for making it OK.
If you don't have the VIN tag, there is really no point in knowing whay year is was....There is no way to make this thing "Legal" with an old title. You might get by with having it inspected and titled as "self assembled", but here in Ohio, the Highway Patrol would give you some serious scrutiny. They would want proof of where it came from....and who removed the VIN. That is why most sellers of such things want nothing to do with it once it's gone....

Another clue is what type of gas pedal. The 71- 72 used a cable gas pedal and the weld nuts were on the outside of the firewall and the pedal atached to the lever. The 70 and older used the rod gas pedal that the pedal mounted to the floor pan and the 3 screws that held in the lever have the nuts or threading inside on the firewall.

Your truck is a 69-70, the fuse box changed in 69 to verticle, the double vin tags are a 69 thing, 70 uses a one piece tag. Your truck is a 69.

[c1069]

Yes, my truck is 69. And the other cab I purchased has one piece vin tag and gas pedal mounted in the floor

[Longhorn Man]

1970
70 was the first year for the one piece VIN tag, and the last year for the floor mounted throttle.
