1967 Fleestside/Wideside Beds - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have heard mention that '67 Fleetside/Wideside beds are a bit different than '68-up. I know about the early '67 GMC tailgates, but what are the other differences?

67 don't have reflector/marker light holes

The wheel openings on short bed trucks are different by a little than the long bed trucks. But the wheel openings on the 67 short bed and long bed are the same as all short bed trucks 67-72

That's what I was thinking, that the wheel radius is a bit different. And yes, the lack of a marker light.

I never knew that about the radius on a '67 long bed being different from the rest. If I read this correctly the '67 SWB is the same as '68 up long or short. For my SWB project I have one '67 bedside and one 69/70 that I need to fill the side marker on.
