Re: 67 thru 72 which year has the best front end

I personally like the 67-68 front ends. They just look smoother to me.

Re: 67 thru 72 which year has the best front end

I like the 67 Chevy for the grill, no marker lights and the sloped hood.

Re: 67 thru 72 which year has the best front end

Even though I have a 70cst and I wouldn't sell it (well maybe for $1,000,000) ... I do like the 67-68 front ends.

I have to agree here. I too have a 70 that I will never part with, but really do like those 67-68 nose's.
Maybe the next one will be a 67-68, Every body should have 2 right !!!!

Re: 67 thru 72 which year has the best front end

I have a 68, and I love it, besides 68, I think 72 has the best overall look.

Re: 67 thru 72 which year has the best front end

You have opened a can of worms...

As posted above, it comes down to personal preference.

My $.02.... I prefer the 69-72 vs. the 67-68 front end styling. As far as choosing between the 69-70 and the 71-72 I wouldn't turn either away.

Re: 67 thru 72 which year has the best front end

I like all 67-72s but I like the 67 best because of the sloped hood no marker lights they just flow better

Re: 67 thru 72 which year has the best front end

67 for both Chevy and GMC. The beauty of the truck isn't interrupted with the side markers poking out like the 68's

I'm probably in the minority as I like the 69-70 best, but I also know I'm right!

Re: 67 thru 72 which year has the best front end

im kinda all over the place on this one
chevy
i love the 71-72 but think that it is best suited on a 4x4(i probly think that because a 71 4x4 has been around everyday for my whole life)
but i am also very partial to the 67-68 2x4 or 4x4, but i kinda steer clear of the 67's being as i think they look odd without the side markers
69-70 i am kinda picky about i think they look good on certain trucks and if the truck is a 69-70 then thats the only grille it can have, but on a slamed and hevily modded truck i think that the 69-70 is the only way to go
gmc's
i think the 69-70's is the best

all opinion of course

Re: 67 thru 72 which year has the best front end

I have a '72 so, of course, the '72's look the best.

By the way, is it too late to add a poll to the top of this thread?
