How will I be able to differentiate a '67 cab from a '68??? I have recently acquired a cab..it has no Tag or options list to go by. Any ideas?

The 67 had a different rear view mirror.
The wing windows locks are a different design.
Maybe the chalk marks on the firewall.

Big one is the size of the rear window. Some custom
'67s had a big rear window, but the standard was a smaller one. '68s all had them big. The ignition lock bezel is smaller on the '67 and there is no ACC position. The door handles and window cranks are more slender, but about the same design as '68 & later. The '67 door lock tabs have a top like a golf tee. The 5th digit in the VIN will be a "7" not an "8."
