Differences between 67 and 72 Truck (NOT 68,69,70,71) first and last year of 'em

[c1069]

I know those two years are some differences between them, but are some special differences (only items) like rear view mirror bracket 67 only and 72 mounted on the windshield, radio buttons, doors and someone knows more...

[gotchamel]

Options and grilles seem to be the biggest changes in my very limited experience.Powertrains and trim packages are options I guess.

[special-K]

I guess the question is more like can someone list all the '67-only items and '72-only items? Because,some of the differences between '67 and '72 are the same differences between '67 and 68/69/70/71 and same differences between '72 and 68/69/70/71

[Shyguy]

67's did not have side markers, 72's did. 67's frame did not have a dimple at the steering box, 72's did. If '67s had power steering it was ram assist instead of the more common type. 67's did not have a screw on the door below the wing window 72's does. 67's had tilt back seats, 72's don't. I am sure there are more differences.

[Vintage Windmills]

Good point Tim, here is a start:

67 only:
-Rearview mirror bracket
-Ext door handle (mounting hole angle)
-Doors have different hole shape and mount for ext handles
-Small back window (unless panoramic optioned)
-If a CST, the style of knobs on radio and switches
-If a CST, the crinkle/wrinkle finish on glovebox door
-Handles for ventwindows have texture lines
-Bench seat tilts forward
-No side markers
-Interior door handles are slimmer

[teeitup]

Also
ash tray and mount
ignition hole and spacer
doors were heavier
door hinges were different
seat belts were different
wing windows were different
fenders different on very front
hood
high beam indicator light
visors were smoother
radio knobs
tailgate
light switch knob
wiper knob
choke knob
rad support
headlight buckets
steering column
wiring under dash
wiper switch on different side
gauge bezel
outer front bumper brackets
window and door handle regs
there is more too

[special-K]

'72-only:
Doors with dimples/screws under wing vent divider
molded door panels
shafts for door/window controls longer
mirror attached to windshield
Highlander
grille surround has no accent black like '71
ummm... This is all pickup. Probably more. The Suburban a/c overhead was unique

'67-0nly:
wing vent latches not through glass
interior door handles
no integral p/s
bullseye reverse lens (right?)
seat belts
base model interior paint either fawn or silver grey
buddy buckets standard on CST
ummm...I give up

[Slick67]

Front turn signals on 67 were in the grill and in the front bumper on 72's. And the front bumper brackets are further out to the sides due to the turn signal lights being in the bumper.

[Slick67]

Here is a couple of pics. Hood difference is the big one. As well as trim.

[c1069]

WOW, they're a lot of differences... More coming?

[67chevy1series]

72's and 67's have the longest list of what different. 67 has too many to count, and on 72 theres like 20 or 25 things different from all years.....



FUN FACT: any 67 chevy GMC cab made in fremont california plant has ripples above the heater motor hole on the fire wall.


also 67s have a different firewall then 68 or 68 72

1967-1972 Model Differences
Chevrolet 1/2 Ton Pickup Trucks

For identification purposes the 1967 through 1972 Chevrolet 1/2 pickup trucks can be divided into three groups. These three groups are each comprised of 2 model years. Each 2-year group is similar in appearance and different from the other 2-year groups. The groups and their most distinguishing characteristics are --




1967 and 1968
-Low angle hood front
-Large rectangular grille openings
1969 and 1970
-Steep angle hood front with bowtie
-Aluminum grille bar
1971 and 1972
-Steep angle hood front with no bowtie
-Egg-crate grill with bowtie

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The characteristics that distinguish one year from the other within the 2-year groups are detailed in the following table. The bullets to the left of each photo list the major visual characteristics for that year. The narrative below each model year describes some of the different trim levels and equipment options for that model year. The narratives do not detail all of the numerous trim levels and equipment options that were possible, they only serve to point out the major model differences.



1967

3Small Standard Rear Window
3"Chevrolet" Hood Letters
3Low Angle Hood Front
3Rectangular Grille Opening
3Bowtie In Center of Grille
3Parking Lights in Grille
3No Side Markers
3Bowtie Fender Emblems

The 1967 model came in either short or long wheelbase with a stepside or fleetside box. In the stepside, a wood bed floor is standard. In the fleetside, a steel bed floor is standard and a wood bed floor is optional. Several trim levels are available. The top-of-the-line CST model has lower bright trim installed at lower body line. Standard engines are a 250 cubic inch 6 cylinder or a 283 cubic inch V8. Optional engines are a 292 cubic inch 6 cylinder or a 327 cubic inch V8. The pickup has a hand operated parking brake and drum brakes front and rear.

1968

3Large Rear Window
3"Chevrolet" Hood Letters
3Low Angle Hood Front
3Rectangular Grille Opening
3Bowtie In Center of Grille
3Parking Lights in Grille
3Front and Rear Side Markers
3Bowtie Fender Emblems

The 1968 model is almost identical to the 1967 pickup. The most obvious difference is the addition of side markers front and rear to comply with new traffic safety laws. The side markers in 1968 where only reflectors, not actual lights. The small rear window is discontinued. Some models have both upper and lower side trim. The CST models have bright trim surrounding front grille and headlamp area. The standard 283 cubic inch V8 was replaced by a 307 cubic inch V8. The 327 cubic inch V8 was still available, along with the new 396 cubic inch V8. The 1968 model still has a hand operated parking brake and drum brakes front and rear.

1969

3Bowtie in Center of Hood Front
3Steep Angle Hood Front
3Aluminum Grille Bar with
Parking Lights and "Chevrolet"
3Parking Lights in Grille
3Front and Rear Side Marker Lights
3Plastic "Egg-Crate" Inner Grille
3Model/Series Fender Emblems

The totally redesigned grille and the steep hood front distinguishes the 1969 model from the previous year's models. Unlike the 1968 models, the side markers in 1969 where lighted. The optional 327 cubic inch V8 was replaced by the 350 cubic inch V8. Upper and lower body trim was an option. The lower body trim had black banding on the Custom models and woodgrain banding on the CST models. The parking brake was changed from hand operated to foot operated but the brakes are still drum front and rear.

1970

3Bowtie in Center of Hood Front
3Steep Angle Hood Front
3Aluminum Grille Bar with
Parking Lights and "Chevrolet"
3Parking Lights in Grille
3Horizontal Fins on Inner Grille
3Model/Series Fender Emblems

The 1970 model is virtually identical to the 1969 model. The only visual difference is the appearance of the plastic inner grille. The "egg-crate" inner grilles are identical in design on both the 1969 and 1970, but a different paint scheme makes them appear different. The graphic on the right illustrates the different paint schemes. The 396 cubic inch V8 was replaced with the 402 cubic inch V8 (called the 400). This is also the first model year to offer an optional tilt steering wheel. The 1970 model still has drum brakes front and rear.


1971

3Bowtie in Center of Grille
3Steep Angle Hood Front
3"Egg-Crate" Grille
3Parking Lights in Bumper
3Horizontal Fins on Inner Grille
3Model/Series Fender Emblems



The two most visually distinctive features of the 1971 model are the new "egg-crate" grille and the parking lights in the front bumper. The bowtie emblem is relocated from the hood to the center of the grille. The anodized aluminum surrounding the grille has a black stripe. The top trim package is now called "Cheyenne" rather than CST. 1971 was the first year for front wheel disk brakes.
1972

3Bowtie in Center of Grille
3Steep Angle Hood Front
3"Egg-Crate" Grille
3Parking Lights in Bumper
3Horizontal Fins on Inner Grille
3Model/Series Fender Emblems



Viewed from the outside, the only two visual differences between the 1971 and 1972 models are the rearview mirror is now glued to the windshield and there is no black stripe around the grille. Internal differences include a new door panel design and the addition of a strengthening screw on the inside of the door below the vent window division bar.
